I'm lucky enough to be able to make only movies I'm interested in seeing. That has to be an instinctive thrust. The audience knows when you're faking it. They can hang any kind of moniker they want on me.

If things were easy to find, they wouldn’t be worth finding.

I would not want to live in a country that would have me as a leader in any sort of political bent.

I have faith that a script is going to hit me like a ton of bricks, and when that happens, it's undeniable that I should choose the role.

Every job requires a certain riding of a horse.

In the early days you have a tendency to intellectualize, but you're really just trying to sound smart and score with the chicks.

E-mail is far more convenient than the telephone, as far as I'm concerned. I would throw my phone away if I could get away with it.
