I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

One of the great things about film is that, typically anything that's introduced in the first five minutes, the audiences will by into.

It's because you have no power. You give them all the material and the cinematographer, the director, the editor, boy what they can choose... You better hope they like you because they can slice and dice and make you look like a damn fool when your face and body are up there on a 30-foot screen.

I feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.

I went to Notre Dame. I don't know if that has any relevance, but maybe we all had a little too much philosophy and theology.

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I've read as an actor, and I'm a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact.

Generally a wise actor will be very careful about the person to whom he gives that power.
