Making a movie is like a chess game. It's about constantly changing patterns, adapting to new things. It's not just black and white, as you know.

They smell good. They look pretty. I love women. I do.

As an actor - like an artist - you have to ask, "Why do I choose a certain moment to play something a certain way?" It's organic to who we are.

What I find sometimes that is tricky is if actors are using too much of their own life in a picture, in a scene, they get locked into a particular way to play the scene, and it lacks an immediacy.

I also realise power is fleeting, it doesn't last forever in this career, so I want to make the most of it. I want to make the kinds of pictures that interest me, it's as simple as that. I've never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

When I'm promoting a film, I'm not going to get caught up in anything else, and that includes all my personal things.

For me as a man, philosophically, when you talk about honor and integrity, that’s the way I want to live my life. It moved me.
