I'm very particular about the kind of music that I record and sing and it would be the same way about the kind of movies that I would do.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

When I was a kid going into the movies you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.

I just love movies so suddenly you're political about movies and that's dark. It's just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.

You don't go to the movies to do historical research unless it's historical research about the movies.

I think what's dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think 'Well I can totally handle myself now.' But if my opponent didn't know the other half of the routine I don't know how well I'd do.

Now there are so many movies so many festivals and so many awards going on each judged with each other like your work is worse than others and that's not fair. How can you tell what's best and what's worst from these awards? We're talking about art.

Well it was actually - I brought the idea of doing a documentary to HBO back in 2000 when there were some press reports sort of were bandied about that there were going to TV movies based on some of the books that were out.

The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.

And you also have to do movies that are about commerce because that's what is required of the industry today.
