  • I have so much empathy for these young actors that are 19 and all of a sudden they're beautiful and famous and rich. I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd be dead.'

  • Life's pretty funny when you're objectively on the outside looking at it.

  • People used to be funny about approaching me, but now they seem to think I'm as sane as anyone who's done what I've done in movies can be.

  • I think directors should be confident in their leadership capabilities. I think directors should be confident in what they want to do.

  • People aren't going to throw the kind of money at certain people that they used to.
