I'll work with a director if I think I'm going to get into a comfortable situation and if it's someone I respect and who respects me even if they're not so well known. Movies are hard to make and you have to work toward a common ethic and do your best.

Movies are hard work. The public doesn't see that. The critics don't see it. But they're a lot of work. A lot of work.

I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.

My grandmother and I saw an average of eight movies a week double features second run.

Movies are movies television is television.

What do I geek out about? What am I? Hmmm. I love movies. I watch movies. I like big sweeping epics like Ed Zwick stuff: 'The Last Samurai ' 'Legends of the Fall ' 'Blood Diamond ' 'Glory.'

I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous but they can change your world. They can change your views.

All my good movies nobody sees.

I've managed to do movies and still keep a lifestyle where I can go to ballgames go to a grocery store like everybody else.

I don't make movies because I think audiences will want to go see them.
