I've never looked at my career in terms of, What haven't I done that I want to do? I just generally find a story that I think is a good one and go to work

When you think you're good, you will play at that level. If you doubt yourself, you will play like crap.

If they're willing to pay you what you think you're worth for it, that's why an actor goes to work. A lot of times they want to pay you a lot for a picture you don't want to do.

I know I come off differently than I think of myself. I'm always surprised by what people say about me.

If you have a vision or if you believe the director has a vision, then at least you've got something to talk about, something to try and head to and I think that's mandatory for every director to have to do a good job.

I think I've done a lot of movies that people would like to have seen a sequel to. But I grew up in a time when we didn't do sequels. You just did a movie because you wanted to do a movie and you wanted to tell a story. It wasn't to build a franchise.

I'm a libertarian. I think a lot of people are libertarians and are afraid to admit it - or don't know.
