disgusting
If there's anything disgusting in the movie business, it is the whoredom of my peers.
direct miss versus
A lot of critics sometimes get into analyzing the way actors direct versus non-actors directing. And they really always miss it. It's one of those things where, by not being practitioners, they just came up with something that made sense to them.
concerns consider human politics
I don't consider myself specifically political, you know? I think of working as an actor as being a human thing. The concerns I have that fall into politics are human concerns.
tough
It's a tough story, but I think it has a lot more than grimness to offer...it's what we are experiencing in our lifetime.
direct five movies
I think it's much more important to direct movies but if it's going to take five years between each one then I'll have to make up for that.

Family makes me feel there's a reason I'm alive... I'm feeling my life, which I didn't always do partly because I'd be drunk a lot.

There are a few directors around who I have some excitement about spending my $7 at the theatre watching their movies.

We've let the blade of our innocence dull over time, and it's only in innocence that you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

There are some cigarette burns in some funny places.
magic innocence kind
It's only in innocence you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage.

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.
breakfast
I'm not a breakfast eater.

I do not believe in a simplistic and inflammatory view of good and evil. I believe this is a big world full of men, women, and children who struggle to eat, to love, to work, to protect their families, their beliefs, and their dreams.
good-movie made
There's not a lot of good movies being made.
