It sounds corny to say, but the theater is sacred; something transcendent can occur, and when it does, everyone grows. It's a true communion.

I'm going to put a museum on my ranch and people keep saying, "That's a huge idea." Yeah, it's big, but not bigger than the average big movie. A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything. That's maybe a big gallery's total sales for a given year.

News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.

Warren Beatty once told me that if someone's really stuck on you, find them their next boyfriend. But I could never do that.

Most films made about the future acquiesce toward death, and I don't want to be told how to define my future.

I love acting, and doing it well matters to me.

Do what you like to do so well that someone will pay you wages for it.
