I`m an actor and it happened to go my way that day.

But then, even with sex, I`m more in the school of less is more in movies.

I often feel that my days in New York City, that I was here for five years, didn`t get one job, went on a thousands of auditions and literally did not get a job on a soap, not a movie, not TV, not nothing, although I did do some commercials thank God.

When it gets down to it you just have to act.

But I will say this: In my humble opinion, knowing nothing about it, I do believe that they have remote viewers working on where Osama Bin Laden is. I absolutely, 100%, convinced of that.

I think women can be as cruel as men, and men as tender as women, and vice versa.

The F.B.I. is about nuts and bolts. It`s all about witnesses and procedure and walking the streets.

I can think of films that I`m producing right now that are extremely hard-hitting, graphic films, that nobody necessarily wants to see, graphic in terms of violence, of adult content and racial and historical subject matter.

I`d like to do more family dramas.

If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I`m allowed to cover, the better for me and the better, hopefully, for the people who like to watch me.

I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn`t look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there`s only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.

Well, I`ve thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don`t know what I`d do.

It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I`ve worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I`ve worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley.

Right now, I have to admit, that I`m more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness.

There are different reasons to make movies.

I`d like to do a romantic comedy.

I don`t do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.

It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you`re a man or a woman, you`ll do whatever you have to do to get it.

But I guess I like playing flawed guys `cause it gives a place for the characters to go.

I think America right now is looking for somebody who appeals to every faction.

I think that maybe that`s my weakness, in that I don`t know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

I think they are very important because westerns have a code and a symbolism.

You never really know as an actor; it`s completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use.

If we`re talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don`t look at Clinton.

I`m sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.

Yeah, but there`s nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant.

A film has its own life and takes its own time.

I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that`s what I`m always looking for, a director that`s going to help me go places I`ve never been before.

The problem with making larger movies, five or six months, is that whose got the energy to keep themselves in that place for so long?

I`ve been working for many years and I think I`ve managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.

I would like to direct.

I always ask, why can`t I be just like Cary Grant or something.

Yeah, I`d like to get the girl and at least make it through the film.

Some movies get rushed out right after you make them and I`m not always happy with that.

I mean, the problem is, I think I`m a great writer.

I think every actor wants to be an FBI or cop at one point.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.

Through all the relationship stuff I`ve gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.
