Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

Ninety percent of the preparation we do as actors is just jive. It doesn't do anything.

There will always be people with disabilities. And by my estimation, the scorecard for the way we take care of those who need our help the most, those at the very bottom of that safety net, is pretty dismal. And that has to change.

Many times, I like to read the script before I even know who they want me to play, so I can read it and really enjoy it as an audience member. I think that's given me the ability to ferret out the really special scripts from all the rest.

The Spirit Awards are great too, they'll say anything because they're not televised. Another great drinking night.

Sometimes, directors are afraid to stop shooting, because the second you stop and say, "We got it," and move on, you'll never get another chance. And they're terrified to get in the cutting room and not be happy. So they just keep shooting.

Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.
