It’s a shame...you just don’t see young people doing anything outside these days.

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

If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.

I'm drawn to a lot of first-time directors. One of the great common denominators in these small independent films is that there's a person, or two people, who have an absolutely monomaniacal passion to get these films made. That's what makes them happen. Sometimes, it takes years and years to finally get it done, but by never backing down, by never giving up, they get these films to the screen by hook or by crook.

I'm not religious. It's an issue, 'cause I've got two little kids, and I feel you can't grow up without knowledge of religion.

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

When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.
