I'm hard on myself. I'm my biggest critic.

I criticize those critics. The reason being that they're doing one of the worst things that ever can be done to an actor, which is to say, Look, you do what we like you to do or else.

I've discovered I can't make a film about people I dislike.

When people approach me about my films it is usually to tell me how much they hate them.

Critics can be harsh and I think it's going to take me a long time to make people see what I have inside of me and that I really put my guts into movies and that I'm not superficial and that I'm not just a pretty face.

I am forced to say that I have many fiercer critics than myself.

I'm a tough critic on myself.

I still think like a critic, and I still analyze films like a critic. However, it's not possible to write criticism if you're making films.

I get terrible reviews, but there are people who like to see me in the movies, I guess.

I'm probably my own harshest critic. If I get a hundred good reviews and one really bad one, it's that one out of a hundred that I remember. I think we actors are hard on ourselves, and I don't know why that is.
