As an actor, you have to do things out of passion sometimes. I'm not in it for a lot of money. But I only need one car, and I'd rather work with people I really do respect and admire. And if you walk that path, you don't get written about too much in the tabloids, and I'm good with that.

When you introduce a character and show him for the first time, don't show him fully lit. Don't show him one hundred percent to the audience. Show maybe fifty percent or sixty percent so the audience can fill in the dark spots.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, they make bad movie after bad movie.

If what I think is God should come down today and says I'm God, or the thing you call God, and you're never going to do any more movies. You're never going to do television. You're never going to do theater again in your life, I would just say What are we doing? What is the next step? That's how I try to approach it.

To me, the most important thing in life is to be a human being. Second is acting.

I started as a director, but I was too bored with actors. I preferred to act.

I usually say I might have a talent or I'm lacking a talent, because everyday, I must tell you, I thank whatever is up there or out there that I'm alive and that I get to do what I'm doing, and I think that sends off a lot of good vibrations in different directions.
