"I don't do commentaries on films because A) I'm not very good at it and B) it's an odd thing that I discovered, on my first film, that you go through this really intense experience of making a film and then you sit in a little room with a monitor and you reduce the thing to a bunch of silly anecdotes. It's really unfulfilling and I've never really enjoyed listening to them anyway, so I just don't do them."

The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born.”

“I'm now learning how to distinguish when I'm acting and when I'm not acting - offstage as well as onstage.”
“Husband, when you tell your wife to go for counseling alone (because you think going to see a counselor is a sign you have failed) is like having a car you love overheat and deciding it's not manly to take it to the mechanic. You can keep on driving it but eventually you will ruin the engine.”
“True wisdom comes from the overcoming of suffering and sin. All true wisdom is therefore touched with sadness.”
