There Is No Best Anything In Art.

Nothing Seems To Matter But Ourselves. That's Not How I Was Brought Up. I Don't Recognize The Country I Live In Anymore.

You Know, Its Really Strange Now With The Internet, With Everyone Having An Unsolicited, Anonymous Opinion.

I'm The Guy To Call. Look At The Resume. I Have Kids Of My Own. I Have Dogs.

There Is No Best Anything In Art. Phillip [hoffman] Isn't Better Than Heath [ledger]; Joaquin [phoenix] Isn't Better Than David [strathairn] Or Terence [howard]. They Aren't Better Than Me. We All Do Different Things. It's More Of A Celebration Of A Lot Of Great Work Than To Give The Gold To Somebody. The Underappreciated Factor Certainly Has Gone Away.

I Never Starved. And You Know, Whatever Talent I Have, I've Relied On That, Versus Image Or Star. I Have Just Said, 'hire Me If You Want Somebody Good.' I Tried To Be As Good As I Could Be Every Time Out, And That's Kind Of Bridged The Decades.
