I don't find movies interesting. I just want to do the movies that made me interested in getting into movies, and they're few and far between.
From Jason Patric
I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.
I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If I'd wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasn't worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.
I don't have a problem with fame. I got into this business intending to be very successful, but I wanted it to be at my price.
I have a problem with the blatant celebrity exhibitionism that happens in this business and being sold purely as a brand.
You know how many movies it took Tom Cruise before he was making 5, 6 million dollars? It probably took a billion dollars in box office.
If I was coming into the business today, I wouldn't be in it. Knowing what I know, absolutely not.
I try to stay under the radar.
It's easy to be a movie star. The shoes are already there. They just put you in the shoes.
When you look at some of the most respected actors there are and the crap that they're in... it didn't used to be that way.
