| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | Acting is what I originally wanted to do. Unfortunately, the business of being an actor is a lot more disheartening than the business of being a producer. As an actor you're beholden to the material and taste of other people who are developing projects you may or may not get in. As a producer you come up with the idea. |
| 2 | You're more open-minded when you know you're not listening to ideas with a gun to your head. |
| 3 | I've always been schizophrenic. I've never been interested in limiting myself. I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first. I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer. |
