I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.

You'd much rather act with a pal, someone you know really well. That way, you can cut all the niceties and go right to insulting each other.

What actors are good at doing is walking into a situation that should make you incredibly self-conscious and frightened and doing it anyway. That's the gig, pretending that you are comfortable.

So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.

If I had my choice, I would do the same little independent films, but they would have $100 million budgets, so I could get paid a fortune and hang out in a huge 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.

Directors work 10 times harder than anyone else. Get paid a quarter.
