Every filmmaker's different, every filmmaker has a different approach.
I did what a lot of character actors do: I did it to get girls.
I suppose there are a lot of people who'd kill to have my career, but I still feel like a fan.
I am not a member of the chamber of commerce for show business, believe me, but there are some really good people in the business, and [Tom] Hanks has this everyman decency onscreen, but he actually is that guy.
I can't emphasize the immediate panic that would set in when I had to audition. I can't believe I did it.

I don't want to appease everyone. It seems very difficult to be steadfast on truth and be a politician.
Intelligence in the service of poor instinct is really dangerous.

I just feel so lucky to tell stories and make up stories and share them with people.
