I saw how Billy Bob Thornton, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck were suddenly praised because they made films. I don't think you get respect as an actor in this town unless you're Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks. But you get respect as a filmmaker. (actors)
I support the troops. This is tough time right now. I think a lot of people in our industry are afraid to speak out. I had a drink with Sean Penn the other night.

God, I admire Steve Martin. (actors)
I'm actually really opposed to the death penalty. (unknown)

I've had a great career up until now, and I'm trying to kind of take the reigns.

You simply can't write stuff like this. It's that great for a director. (movies)

At first I thought, 'Man, this bull has the life.' I was a teenage boy, I could see the advantage of that. Then I thought, 'Maybe this isn't such a good deal.' ... Sometimes he'd look at me with these eyes: Beware of what you wish for. (childhood)
We are not playing these people with parody or satire. We are playing these people dead earnest. I'm a guy who's trying to do the right thing by his family and by his God. ... That's what really guided me in the role. (plays)

In the old days the studios guided your career. Now it's all up to you. (career)
