As much preparation as I had made for the old man Salieri, gestures and so on, the fact is after sitting for hours, your movements are kind of slow.

I'd like President Bush to think maybe there's another way to think, that maybe Kissinger was wrong when he says we had to go in there because he was wrong about Vietnam.

I'd like President Bush to get a gun in his hands. I'll go with him. I can't think of anything better than to die in place 's just beginning their lives.

I trust that the president will try, just give it one more shot, some revolutionary way of not doing this, of bringing all those kids back home safely.

I think creativity is spiritual. I absolutely believe that.

I really like to experiment. That's the only way I can work. It's instinctive.

I love parties. I love a good time.

I just throw it out and see what happens. If it sounds and feels right, then I continue.

I have two brothers buried in the military cemetery in Texas. I don't want to see any more of that.

I'm a very proud actor.

I acted my heart out.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know if you'd call him a great actor, but he's amazing in terms of his presence, and he is interesting enough that you want to watch him.

All the stuff that you visualized that was going to work so beautifully, you discover is trashed, so you jump to something else.

I don't want to talk in terms of miracles. I think this is a very serious situation. But I do want to talk in terms of Bush becoming a man of the hour, and I think this is way to do it.

The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.
