There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.

I think that you can't make a movie without a script. But you also can't make movies without actors. You also can't make movies without technicians. And there has to be just one person in charge of everybody, and to me that one person is the director.

I've been offered lots of movies. There's always some actor who's doing a project and would like to have me do it. But you look at the project and think, 'Gee, there are a lot of good directors who could do that.' I'd like to do something only I can do.

Ultimately, making movies, if you don't have a big star, it's hard to do. Or if it's not a star director.

There are a lot of movies made for nobody.

Who wouldn't want to be in 'Star Wars?' It'd be great.

I adore the work of Lucas and Spielberg. I'm certainly not trying to minimize their talents, but I'd love to see what they could do when they aren't leading us from reality.

I've been offered starring roles in horrible movies, but I just didn't want to do it. I don't see why you would.

I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
