I owned a 1972 Plymouth Valiant that we bought for $125. It was infested with cockroaches and geckos - it was its own little ecosystem.
If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I'm allowed to cover, the better for me and the better, hopefully, for the people who like to watch me.
I'm an actor and it happened to go my way that day.
Chris [Nolan] comes at this with such a different take on Batman, so I didn't feel that I had to be true to any other actor playing this role. Of course, I read the comic books. His relationships with Lt. Gordon and with Batman, with Gotham City, those really helped me the most.
I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.
I wanted to do a war movie, a western and an alien movie. In reality, there are a lot of ugly things happening in the world.
Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.
I've not made a career of being physical in my movies, but I love sports. I'm a very physical guy.
But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go.
The F.B.I. is about nuts and bolts. It's all about witnesses and procedure and walking the streets.
I like doing movies with kids in them, and you're explaining things. They're teaching you and you're teaching them, and the audience can loop through that.
The day you stop caring what other people think of you is the day your life begins.
Well, I've thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don't know what I'd do.
I can think of films that I'm producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.
