David Cronenberg knows what we actors do as artists.

All I know is that my best work has come out of being committed and happy.

I have a film I want to direct. Gena Rowlands was going to do it with me a long time ago. It's about an older woman who's running a ranch in the west the old fashioned way.

People who have expertise or the luck to have rehearsal time with cameras have it over people who don't.

Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.

I need six weeks of rehearsal and women need nine months and it took me 15 years to figure that out

I think acting can bring you closer to yourself and help you understand other people
