 Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary. |
| I'd seen musicians act, and it scares me. And they make more money than me. |
| I started off on stage because it was the only work I could get. I haven't been back for 11 years. I think any stage experience is good experience, as far as being an actor is concerned. |
| I will watch everything that Cary Grant did, or Kubrick made or Bergman. |
| If you meet somebody who's spent any length of time in prison, you don't let your guard down. Ever. And really, that's what that was about-if you open up too much, you're asking to get your teeth kicked in. |
| A character I would love to play is Iago, from Othello. |

| There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring. |
| I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance. |
| Bring back dueling, I say. Drive-by sword fight. |
| When you know youre whoring it hurts. I have kids. I'm not going to run down an actor for doing this. |
| How would you compare Polanski or Kubrick? I try not to do any comparisons. |
| You read a script and its based on Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and it goes right in the bin. |
| Ilike ideas writers have that I might not have written. Writers are there for a reason... to write for me. |
