I can only be so long without work before I start getting antsy.

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.

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.

[On Clint Eastwood, best director:]
If he hires you, he hires you because he feels like you know what to do. And he's very, very largely out of the way. He directs the picture, you do the acting. I love that, and I think that most of the people that he works with love that.

It's sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help.

I can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
