What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.

Someone asked me what do you think of Donald Trump? And I said, I would rather vote for Hillary Clinton in jail. If she gets convicted, I'll vote for her for president.

Most entertainment is trying to get you. It's tested, like toothpaste.

Movies are an expensive business.

If you paint, write, do mosaics, knit - if it's solving that part of your brain saying, 'I need to do this,' you've won.

One of the things I like about a character: I always think it's fascinating when a character can turn on a dime and go from one emotion to another. I like watching that.

If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.

I'm not a person who I ever thought would do well with divorce. Not that it can't happen. I just didn't want that. So I waited a long time to meet the right person. Then I finally met someone that I was willing to be divorced from.

It's interesting when you're part of a group - the Jews, to be exact - that the world has had such problems with.

'Drive' came to me because the casting director knew my manager and called and said, 'You've always talked to me about Albert wanting to play the heavy. I think he should read this.' My ears just perked up.
