I work hard. The staff and crew see how much energy I put into this project, and it makes them step up.

If you're passionate about your work, it makes the people around you want to be involved too.

Some government workers are dedicated and work hard, but most of them are just waiting to retire.

I'm not in retirement. I just don't want to work so much, and I don't get that many offers any more.

I remember those days with Bergman with great nostalgia. We were aware that the films were going to be quite important, and the work felt meaningful.

I just feel I shouldn't work too much, because there are so many other things to do.

It's important to me to work in my own language now and then. I love English, but you can never learn to master a foreign language if you're not brought up with it.

I approach love differently now that I know it's hard for it to work out.

For globalization to work for America, it must work for working people. We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our middle class, and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that middle class.

I would rather take the role and work and make my own money and self respect than to have sex with someone who has a lot of money.

Our age is before all things a practical one. It demands of us all clear and tangible results of our work.

I can say unequivocally that the boycott does not work. It's never complete enough to have impact unless it's backed by force, and I don't think anybody in America seriously proposes that.

I'd like to do some more classical work if I do some more theatre.

I'm not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does. Sean is one of the few actors I know who can work like that, actually becoming the character he is playing, and get consistent results. I don't believe you can ever be someone else. You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character.

There are a lot of movies I'd like to throw away. That's not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started, I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world, but some films just don't work.
