You know, I feel like my job is to write a book. Then filmmakers come and they make a movie. And they're two really different art forms.

The only way you can continue to make artistic films is to make an occasional one of those. They kind of keep your marketability going to the extent that people will employ you.

I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

I like to make films, but the only reason I do is because I'm a very bad musician.

I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.

If it's a choice between doing a film and not doing a film, I'd rather not. But then, you remember that you're supposed to be earning a living and that it's your career.

I can do a film only if it excites me as an actor.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

Making movies is my profession. I like doing it a lot.
