The movies I usually do are maybe three or four weeks because they don't have a lot of money.

I'm not a public figure at all. I don't really go out a lot to places where there are people like those who sit at the bottom of your driveway.

The more people involved in making a movie, the worse it is, generally.

I don't think I'm very ambitious at all. But I seem to play people who have that quality.

If you give a character room to breathe, they come alive.

If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew.

I'm unqualified for anything else. I'm barely qualified for this.

I've worked with a lot of great directors.

I... had guys on the set who didn't like me... they weren't interested in the cold character.

The movies I'm in not a lot of people see, but it's alright.

I have a hard time visualizing anything, which is why I'm not a director, and which is why I try to work with ones I know have a strong idea in mind.

Tell the story as if it were only of interest to the small circle of your characters, of which you may be one. There is no other way to put life into the story.

Don't use yesterday's state of mind, to make today's decision.

Words have consequences.

Perfectionism is searching for faults to justify low self-esteem. It is a guaranteed failure and fantasy.

Politics has become a game of meaningless, mindless battles, conducted by unscrupulous methods and people, designed to transform even the most serious policy debates into sport.

You can't tell your best buddy that you love him.

When griefs are genuine, I find, there is nothing more vacuous, more burdensome, or even more impertinent, than letters of consolation.

When Donald Trump does his talking, he - he doesn't tiptoe around the thousand new rules of political correctness.

Blessed are the pure in heart; how will people believe that, unless we ourselves are worshipping the living God until our own hearts are set on fire and scorched through with his purity?

Your behavior is a choice; it isn’t who you are.
