Memories Are Not Just About The Past.

One Of My Favorite Artists Is Tom Waits, Whom Most People Think Of As A Wonderful Singer-songwriter And A Great Poet. I Certainly Think Of Him That Way, But I Also Know Him As A Terrific Actor. You Know, That Persona That He Puts On When He's Doing His Music Comes From Being An Actor, Figuring Out A Persona.

Making A Film, It Uses A Certain... 'pretend-muscle,' I Don't Know What You Want To Call It. It Exhausts Something In Me, I Find. It Has To Be Really Something To Get Me Interested.

A Fool And His Money Are Quickly Parted.

I've Had Really Great Experiences Working With First-time Directors. They Come At Filmmaking With Fresh Ideas. I've Been Very Lucky That Way.

A Large Part Of Acting Is Just Pretending. You Get To Work With These Other Great Make-believers, All Making Believe As Hard As They Can.
