If you lived through the shooting of Jaws, you can live through anything.

Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it's increments, tiny little pieces.

It always gets worse as you get older. You get more nervous, there's more to lose. He's got to live up to being Paul Newman.

The movies that influenced me were movies that told their stories through pictures more than words.

Thank God I don't live in Los Angeles. I think if you're there the whole time it just gets out of proportion and you lose touch completely with reality.

I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance.
