Quotes :
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.
I think an artist's responsibility is more complex than people realize.
But the reason I became, why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.
I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn't allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done, you're done with work.
I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.
I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.
So, yes, there's nothing I love more than listening to directors talk about their movies.
I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.
I fantasize about having a manual job where I can come home at night, read a book and not feel responsible for what will happen the next day.
I didn't have any ambition to produce big mainstream popcorn
