I Think Being Self-referential Is Really Narcissistic. Who's To Say Anybody's Even Thinking Of You That Much? But Some Of These Movies That I've Done, People Still Recite Lines To Me, Even 20 Years Later.

With Acting, You Wanna See If You Can Get Into Trouble Without Knowing How You're Gonna Get Out Of It. It's Like The Exact Opposite Of War, Where You Need An Exit Strategy. When You're Acting, You Should Get All The Way Into Trouble With No Exit Strategy, And Have The Cameras Rolling.

Well, Acting Itself Is A Form Of Rebellion, Always. Getting Up There In Front Of People, Telling Stories - You're Kind Of Going Against The Grain To Begin With, Wanting To Do That, Don't You Think? Why Else Would You Do It? Except Maybe As Kind Of A Way To Affirm Your Very Existence.

The Film Is Not A Success Until It Makes Money. It's Only Good When There's A Dollar Figure Attached To The Box Office.
