I'm fairly competant as a director and actor, but I am Mr. Neurotic as a writer. I just don't have enough confidence in my abilities to take criticism well. I take it personally. Start with 'It's a masterpiece,' and then tell me what you think could be changed.

Americans accept that gangsters are running the government.

I don't know if I ever really bought into the eternal damnation bit.

You get money out of acting. You get gray hair out of directing. Actually, I get more of a rush from directing.

It simply comes down to this, Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying.

I don't care about Clinton's haircuts or his affairs or any of that stuff.

I'm not gangly; I'm very coordinated. I do have a bit of a baby face. But I guess that just means I'll be working longer.
