I guess the issue for me is to keep things dynamic.

Listen, smile, agree, and then do whatever the fuck you were gonna do anyway.

You need to know what to do when the sun is not shining.

I've always felt like an outsider in this industry. Because I'm so insane I guess.

If someone really takes a risk, it doesn't get dismissed. That's what happened when the Oscar was won posthumously by Heath Ledger, who did one of the definitive villain performances of all time. But it really has to be exceptional in defining everything we previously knew about the actress or the actor.

I'm very good at deconstructing. I'm a very good troubleshooter for why something is unlikely to work. And most everything is unlikely to work.

I like mainstream movies that are completely off the wall.

I take some pride in... representing myself exactly how I would like to have my son remember me to his kids.

I had this bad-boy-from-New York vibe going, dressed like a punk rocker with spiky hair.

When you have a good script you're almost in more trouble than when you have a terrible script.

I walk by studio heads and they actually look and put their hand out now, like maybe I should be on their radar.

Acting is the most wildly overpaid position imaginable.

I think you end up doing the stuff you were supposed to do at the time you were supposed to do it.
