I'm getting bigger roles, and I'm on location more, and I have a wife and family. I'd rather work less, and I've started to implement that. It was either that or my wife would break my heart.

The ratings system is so bogus and people know it. Fewer and fewer people care. The ratings board has sort of exposed itself. But my problem is, as a parent, there's this area of film that my daughters want to see. They're not my kind of films, I don't want to go see them, but I really want to know whether my daughters can see them or not. The morality of what the ratings board is doing now escapes me. I don't get it.

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

It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.

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

Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.

I don't watch rushes. My whole thing is to try to stay in the moment with the other actor, and to let it all hang. I'm not sure I'm right on that, though.
