I started as a director and just fell upon acting.

Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.

I seem to play a lot of losers.

Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.

There's a point where art is not subjective, and my example for that is Picasso. If you don't like Picasso, that's your problem.

In a way, all actors are gypsies, or much like a traveling circus.

I consider myself a storyteller, not really even an actor. I consider myself a storyteller.

I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.

We two make banquets of the plainest fareIn every cup we find the thrill of pleasure... For us life always moves with lilting measureWe two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure

The change is for a cause.

Pray daily for your family.

Words are what you fight with but what you fight about is whether or not you’re afraid of them.

The most abundant and most precious of things: Thoughts and Dreams, can be found in every corner yet as precious as diamonds.

We again bear the cost of those who enjoyed their whole life while we were struggling.

I believe increasing minimum wage it's not just the minimum wage, it's a living wage.

I believe it is a tradition in baseball that when a pitcher has a no-hitter going, no one reminds him of it.

I like playing with a popular cliché and making it my own by half-embracing it, half-disemboweling it.

Success comes and goes. Your flops stay with you for life.
