Love Goes Through Different Stages. But It

We Were Doing Scarface Many Years Ago...and I Remember Having My Coffee And Looking At The Beach, The Surf, And I Saw A Hundred People Looking Out Into The Ocean. I Thought, What's Going On? Did Some Whale Get Washed Up To Shore? So I Stood Up On The Table To See What It Was, And It Was The Director, Brian De Palma, Standing There Alone By The Surf And They Were All Waiting For Him. And I Never Forgot That Because It Represented To Me What A Director Is, What A Director Does.

Chekhov Was As Important To Me As Anybody As A Writer.

At This Point In My Career, I Don't Have To Deal With Audition Rejections. So I Get My Rejection From Other Things. My Children Can Make Me Feel Rejected. They Can Humble You Pretty Quick.

A Lot Of Acting Is Private Time.

I Never Saw Myself As A Director. It's Certainly A Second Language But Making Movies For 40 Years, You Pick Stuff Up. However, This Style Of Making Movies, This Documentary Style, Is Easier For Me Because I Gather A Lot Of Material And With An Editor, Write It On Screen. You Try To Write Based On What You Shot.
