What I wanted more than anything was a long career.

From the very first movie I ever made to the current time, there have been times between action and cut when I've sensed some kind of new dimension that I haven't been familiar with before.

When I tested for Billy Budd, I had that kind of confidence that comes with the certainty that you're not going to get something. I was very rough around the edges.

I've never wanted to become a politician, an interior decorator, I've never wanted to speculate and make a load of money. I just wanted this.

I was very disappointed that so much of the work I did on The Haunted Mansion didn't arrive in the final cut.

A lot of young directors, they're not confident; they're not open to the emotional level of the scene.

He's Soderbergh, we're working for him. It doesn't matter what he's doing; we'll see it at the premiere.
