I think acting is getting better and better.

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

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.

I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what; it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.

I am against censorship in any form. I think anybody should be able to make any movie he or she wants and let the public decide. If it's disgusting and they don't want to see it, they won't go. I believe in the audience.

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

I introduced myself to Scorsese and I said, "If you need someone to do craft services, I'm there."
