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.

Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.

The ratings system is so bogus and people know it. Fewer and fewer people care. The ratings board has sort of exposed itself. But my problem is, as a parent, there's this area of film that my daughters want to see. They're not my kind of films, I don't want to go see them, but I really want to know whether my daughters can see them or not. The morality of what the ratings board is doing now escapes me. I don't get it.

You have to do whatever you can to limit the things that could make you feel insecure.

I feel very secure about the role of the actor in the future. They need us, because stories are about people.

Making a mistake means overshooting a scene, shooting too many takes, for instance. Long after you've got it, you just keep shooting.

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