“We always feel threatened by things we don’t know. But, there are definitely some weird things going on.”

I can think of films that I’m producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.

Filmmaking is a difficult process. There are the logistics of making a film. You have to do your part, and then change the entire thing around to do someone else’s part. A lot of the magic is lost, in between that, and you have to figure out how to get it back.

I owned a 1972 Plymouth Valiant that we bought for $125. It was infested with cockroaches and geckos – it was its own little ecosystem.

But I guess I like playing flawed guys ’cause it gives a place for the characters to go.

I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn’t look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there’s only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.

I think every actor wants to be an FBI or cop at one point.

The day you stop caring what other people think of you is the day your life begins.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance.

If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I’m allowed to cover, the better for me and the better, hopefully, for the people who like to watch me.

Well, I’ve thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don’t know what I’d do.

I’ve been working for many years and I think I’ve managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.

A GOOD old-fashioned sex tape pretty much guarantees you a star on Hollywood Boulevard.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

I’d like to do more family dramas.

I’m an actor and it happened to go my way that day.

A film has its own life and takes its own time.

Some things may work, but they definitely won’t work every time. Some things may work at various times.

I’m definitely guilty of thinking something is funny but thinking the audience won’t. Then three years later I will finally try it and it’ll kill them. I got to give them more credit.

There is definitely an addiction to money that I have.

You can’t change your fingerprints. You have only ten of them. And you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret.

With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.

The definitive freedom-sustaining and life-enhancing principles of democracy in living action.

I’ve had the same core group of friends that I’ve always had. We’re surfing, so that definitely keeps you grounded.

Start with something simple and small, then expand over time. If people call it a ‘toy’ you’re definitely onto something.
