Every job requires a certain riding of a horse.

If I have no connection with the character, then it's all fake - it's just blah, blah, blah.

If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.

I know how the Academy Awards works: It's a card game, and I'm in the toss-up category.

From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle; we just decided to go.

I do not want to admit to the world that I can be a bad person. It is just that I don't want anyone to have false expectations. Moviemaking is a harsh, volatile business, and unless you can be ruthless, too, there's a good chance that you are going to disappear off the scene pretty quickly.

I'm not saying I'm not bummed if a movie doesn't do well, but that isn't the final analysis of whether it's any good.
