“I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.”

“And if people come up and say they like the movies you're in, it's a great compliment.”

“Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.”

“My movies are okay, but they're not my specials.”

“When people ask me what makes movies great, it's the material.”

“I was watching 'Up In The Air' and I thought, 'Jesus, who's the old gray-haired guy?' And it was me. I never wear makeup for movies and now it's starting to show.”

“I had a daughter who was 9 years old and I had the feeling I wasn't going to be a real parent if I didn't quit making movies for a while and spend time with her. I also felt that I'd made enough movies and said what I had to say at the time.”

“When I was a kid, I had two great guilty pleasures. One was horror movies and the other was martial arts movies.”

“I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance.”
