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

I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.

Every actor has their own method, so I'm not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.

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

I remember when I was working on Mission: Impossible 2, John Woo said, "In Hong Kong, there's not much money and a lot of time. In Hollywood, a lot of money, not much time." Personally I'd prefer not much money, a lot of time.

If the question was did we want to delay the revelation?... Yeah, you want to delay it as long as possible because the audience knows that that moment is coming and you want to make them wait for it. They have to suffer a bit.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.
