When I was filming 'The Outsiders,' my idea of success was getting the next Martin Scorsese movie.

In terms of chances for success against entrenched competitors, even if it's faster, better (and) cheaper, it can still be a huge hurdle to go against a big competitor.

In spite of being professionally gregarious, in my nonpaid hours I'm a bit of a hermit. After being around a crew of fifty people for twelve hours a day on a film set, I really like my alone time, and as always, I abhor small talk.

I have a friend who is very successful in business, and his motto is, 'Don't do what you can do. Do what only you can do.' First of all, you have to know what your specific, unique gift is and then you do that... every actor does that but every once in a while an actor plays a part that only they can play.
