I am a theatre actor, but the last ten years I've taken parts in movies because it keeps me in money.

Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.

It's really hard to find good movies, and that's pretty much what I try to find, good movies.

Little Odessa. Of all my movies, it's the one that I still really love when I watch it and I'm pretty happy with what I didn in that.

But I like to go to movies with my son because it's still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies.

Cinema Paradiso, because it reminds me of why I make movies, the magic of movies, the romance of movies.

I like making movies.

Being a kid growing up with Kurosawa films and watching Sergio Leone movies just made me love what it could do to you, and how it could influence you - make you dream.

I love to read, I love to watch movies, and I love to be with my children.

We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it's hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!

It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax.

Not only do I have to live, right, I have to get some cash for my troubles - it's a scary thing, and people need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

It can have an enormous effect because big budget movies can have big budget perks, and small budget movies have no perks, but what is the driving force, of course, is the script, and your part in it.

People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

Most of the time it's the role. Sometimes it's the story and sometimes it just the paycheck. It's the little movies that come out as stories or the fact that I have work to go out, you know what I'm saying, you can only be out so long without work, you start getting antsy.
