I've got two little girls, I'm not scared about sex. I'll teach them, it's not going to kill them. But what could kill them is violence. Guns, drinking and driving, these are the real dangers in our society.

All modesty aside, I think I'm good at reading scripts. The way I read a script is as fast as I can, all in one sitting, and I don't read many of the stage directions. I only read enough stage directions to let me know where I am, because they're always so verbose and mostly horseshit. So I only read the dialogue, which allows me to see the movie in my mind's eye in real time.

We must admit that it is quite common that people do have affairs with their leading ladies and men.

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.

A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.

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.

When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.
