My passion is becoming involved in good work, whether that means as an actor or writer or director or producer or all - that is not as important to me.

I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

I have a lovely family who supports me and it's great.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.

I think naturally, if you're an actor, there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive, and there's strength and confidence.

You get addicted to emotions. Our endorphins kick in and it's like a high. On the low end you might love roller coasters. On the high end you might be a bank robber or something.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

I think it's not a question of why, more a question of why not.

Take a chance. Take a risk. Find that passion and rekindle it. Fall in love all over again. It's really worth it.

If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. If you don't, you won't. It's really simple.

Every experience feeds an actor, and I've learned that depression is all around us.

You want money... Okay... Now few dollars... then few... then few... and poof everything is gone. That's call failure!

If you’re purely after facts, please buy yourself the phone directory of Manhattan. It has four million times correct facts. But it doesn’t illuminate.

Love demands infinitely less than friendship.

A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy.

When you focus on place you do everything differently.

Design is a response to social change.

[B]ipartisanship means tarring and feathering politicans from both major parties.

I am more spiritual than religious.

I feel very strongly that a film isn't just a story, but the WAY that a story is told. It's why I am such a great fan of Hitchcock because it really is all in the filmmaking.

I've been writing a lot, I've a few projects I'm trying to finance, I do some acting, I do some directing... Apart from that, if I could get lower than a 10 handicap on my golf game, I'd be thrilled.
