Donnie Brasco was great, but the energy on the set made it kinda hard to get in there and have an opinion.

It's hard to know really how it's going to happen, but the career ebbs and flows and now there's a nicer feeling of interest than there has been at other times.

The interesting thing about Bettie Page that I discovered was to leave the mystery. She always retained a little mystery. Let there be some unknowns.

It's fun to play a character when you can't concern yourself with how sympathetic they are.

If my life had gone in a different direction - some of the choices you makes when you're in your teens and your early 20s, I fortunately feel that I haven't been marked by those things.
