I've studied Stanislavsky, and Mamet taught Stanislavsky, and I studied with Sanford Meisner. But the part of the method that I think is the most fruitful is the method of physical actions. It all comes down to your objective: Nothing else counts except what you want. How you feel will take care of itself.

We always want to see people strive and see the human spirit triumph against adversity. That's what it's all about because that's what we're doing. We're trying to triumph in our lives.

I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.

It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.

I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.

I've always felt that, no matter where you go, people are just people.

Just learn the whole script before you start shooting. That makes shooting a joy. Even if they rewrite, it's easy.

A good director is very well prepared, and knows exactly how he's going to cut the film, so the shooting is as efficient as possible.

So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.

If I had my choice, I would do the same little independent films, but they would have $100 million budgets, so I could get paid a fortune and hang out in a huge trailer.

There will always be people with disabilities. And by my estimation, the scorecard for the way we take care of those who need our help the most, those at the very bottom of that safety net, is pretty dismal. And that has to change.

Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.

I'm not religious. It's an issue, 'cause I've got two little kids, and I feel you can't grow up without knowledge of religion.
