There are some directors I should have worked with. I`d like to have worked with Altman (Robert Altman) - I turned him down a couple of times when I was younger. My thing now is if it`s a good director I`ll never say no - I`m just gonna say yes from now on.
It was very serious and I wanted to do something really different so there was this comedy called TOP SECRET.
It's a really weird thing, modern divorce. I found out I was getting divorced on television. That was kind of weird.
Being creative and making money in the theater is very challenging.
Jim Thompson understood something about the serial killer before the psychology caught up to it, which is that they are detached to it and they do want to get caught.
One out of 100 citizens of the U.S. is going to prison, and it's not that the system is making criminals, it's that it's making criminals better criminals. We're breeding them like rats and it has to change.
I live on a ranch that's larger than Manhattan. That's a weird circumstance.
Warner Bros offered me the next Batman, and the only reason that I didn't do it was because of The Saint.
There's nothing good about divorce.
A wonderful but kind of a terrible truth about acting is that you actually get to a point where you become content with an impossible task: it is really impossible to properly prepare. You kind of have to start over every time.
It's the first time that I've ever had an art show based on a film, but it's a photography collage.
Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.
I'm not just an actor born in L.A.. I was born in the Griffith Park Hospital. You can't get any more clichéd than that.
YouTube is a new experience for me-someone threw a laptop in front of me and showed me Nic Cage going mad, which has got to be the funniest thing on YouTube. He's so courageous.
