It was my first impulse, but I chose to play the priest as a true believer who was an absolute man of faith that absolutely supports the church.

I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.

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

I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.

I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.

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.

Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. It's not right. Someone's gotta say it. They said it. I applaud them.
