One of the things I did early on in film was over-enunciate and talk too loud.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.

It started with the Godfather, this operatic violence. I don't know.

A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.

I've written a lot of scripts that someone else directed, and it's absolutely vital that, if I'm gonna act in it, then I have to take off the writer hat and let the director direct.

I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.

As an actor, early on, you learn that the audience is never wrong. And if you think they are wrong, you need to find a different way to make a living. Collectively the audience is smarter than you will ever, ever be.
