I've been lucky enough to work with some great directors, and I don't want to throw that away by doing one big horrible big budget film.

I don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.

I've only gotten directly offered two or three movies, ever. I don't have the luxury of being able to say no a lot, and I don't really have the luxury of just getting to pick and choose certain things. If I did, I probably would choose even more different roles than I've played.

I've been lucky, I've had movies that made a lot of money, so I don't feel like I have to kill every time out. I don't want that pressure. I don't need it.

As a filmmaker, I don't want to limit myself to one kind of movie.

I go to see maybe seven films a year at the most, and since I only go to see the best, it follows that I very rarely see my own.

So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.

The one thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend, I think the worse that they get.

Their films would probably be better if they'd seen a few more films, which runs counter to this idiotic theory that you run the risk of being influenced if you see too much.

I've made movies that nobody saw initially, and then, all the sudden, people over the years pick up on it. Like 'Spinal Tap' and 'Princess Bride.'
