I have a tendency to say 'yes' to a script or no to a script. Not 'yes' based on a rewrite.

You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.

Writers love to write those idiotic, long stage directions, and some of them worse than others. They have nothing to do with the movie. They're just jerking around.

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

I have been working out for 30 years, staying in shape in the dream that someday I would get to play a sex scene. Finally I get one, and they cut it.

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

I'm a big fan of rehearsal. I'm famous for pulling the cast together, not so much to formally rehearse, but just to run the lines. My theory of acting is that it takes all your attention just to stay in the moment, and keep your attention on the other person, and get him to do what you want him to do.
