Quotes
# | Quote |

1 | [on his experiences as a director] I have great empathy for my actors. They trust me because they know that I have been on the front end of the camera. |
2 | Anyone who's worked very hard on a craft or an art to get a certain precision in terms of execution and performance wants to get past all that stuff that holds you up - your ego, all the doubts. |
3 | [on James Cameron] This guy has more integrity than anyone I ever met in my life. |
4 | [on auditioning for The Doors (1991)] I read my ass off. At the time I was doing Navy Seals (1990) and I flew up with short hair and a mustache to read for the lead. [Oliver Stone's] response was, "Well, I just don't see it". |
5 | I support the troops. This is tough time right now. I think a lot of people in our industry are afraid to speak out. I had a drink with Sean Penn the other night. He went over to Baghdad in December just to see for himself what was going on. And that guy is as American as anybody I ever met. |
6 | I've always loved movies about con men. I think con men are as American as apple pie. |
7 | I want people to re-evaluate me. My dream would be to make films like Clint Eastwood did... You have to be a self-starter out here at a certain point. It's important to take the reigns or, otherwise, you can be regaled to obscurity so quickly. |
8 | . . . but it was movies I had always wanted to be in. I'm into the whole thing, not just performing. I love watching what goes on behind the camera. My heroes are Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd -- complete filmmakers. |
9 | It's very liberating to be naked in front of a hundred people, but there's nothing sexual about lovemaking on a movie set... |
