But at the same time, if the right thing came along, I would do it in a second.

Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days.

The fact that I haven't been married might qualify me as belonging in the nutty category to a lot of women.

Any tendency to design for design's sake, to create a pattern within which the owner must live according to rules set by the designer, is headed for frustration, if not disaster.

When I landed in L.A. in early '89, William Morris decided to take me on to see if I could get any jobs. I was cast in a TV movie called Protected Surf, and made $30,000 in four weeks, and I decided I needed to take acting seriously, because I had never made that much money in a year, much less four weeks. That's when I decided I thought I could make a career out of it.

I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.

Principally, I'll give anything a chance, only because the greatest challenges are the ones that you never see coming.
