I Don't Consider Myself A Hollywood Liberal,

I'm Drawn To Women Who Live In A World Different From My Own. I Don't Believe You Have To Marry Someone From Your Own Backyard. James Joyce Married A Woman Who Never Read Any Of His Books.

Well I Can Tell You That For Me Generally Speaking That I Think Things That I Deal With Are All To Do With Not Accepting Things, Not Excepting Life On Life's Terms. My Life Becomes A Lot Easier When I'm Willing To Just Accept. I Don't Have To Like Circumstances As They Are, But I Have To Accept Them And That's Where I Always Seem To Get Thrown, When I Try To Will My Way Instead Of Accept Things The Way They Are.

It's Tough When You Started Out As Young As I Did To Look Back And See How Far I've Come. I Try To Be Easy On Myself And Go 'look Man, You Were Younger, You Were Learning; You Learn, You Grow.' But I'm Not My Best Judge. I Always Feel Like My Best Work Is Still Ahead Of Me.

Of Course, If You're Gonna Make Movies, You Gotta Make Movies, And I'm Not Gonna Say No To A Good Role.

I Look For Really Great Characters. I Say Great Because As Long As They're Really Good, There's Something You Can Do. And Really Good Storytelling. And When People Ask Me What The Story Is, I Say It's Really Several Stories Really. They're Intermeshed.
