Honestly, I'm cool with everyone, and people pick up on that. I'd say, 'I'm not gay, but it's all good.' It's kind of like going to Paris when you don't know the language; some Americans get into trouble over there, but I'm just like, 'Sorry, I don't speak French.'

Never wear plaid.

Style is innate to who I am. My father gave me a picture the other day. I must have been about seven, and I had on wing-tip shoes and some cool pants. I thought, 'Wow!'

Most actors are starving. Most of us are walking around with a flashlight and tweezers looking for evidence. When you have someone that actually writes an acting role, it’s rare.

Most of the time people are aiming so low on television. They’re trying to reach that common denominator, especially on network television.

To me Polanski is one of the greats in terms of psychological horror. It’s just hard to top him because he’s so damn good at it.

My theory about actors is we’re all walking milk cartons. Expirations dates everywhere.

I mean, I always think when you’re an actor you have to be the guy running into the burning building rather than running out of it, if you want to make some noise as an actor.

I’ve tried like hell to make bad movies good, and I can’t. Maybe Marlon Brando has been able to do that at times. But even he has a hard time making ‘The Appaloosa’ a good movie.

You never want to have a movie be derivative, because that’s the worst if you ask me. I always want to be in original material, or an original idea, or an original vision, rather than a rehash of some other movie.
