I Don't Need To Be

Eventually This All Passes. The Public Horrors Of Today Eventually Blow Away. And, Yes, You Are Changed By The Awful Wake Of Reckoning They Leave Behind.

Don't Let Them Take That Away From You.

I Don't Like It When Reviews Aren't About The Movie. When They're About How Much Money Somebody Made, Or Who They're Sleeping With, Or If They Got The Job Via Some Connection, Or About How Fox Is Putting X Amount Of Dollars Into It.

I've Got That Irish Thing Going On. Lots Of Irish In My Background.

'taxi Driver' Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me, And I Didn't Become A Weirdo And Squawk Like A Chicken.

I'd Like To Work More As A Director. It's Distracting Being An Actor, Because - There's A Lot Of Reasons. You Find Out You're Going To Work About Six Months Before You Start Shooting, And Then There's Prep And There's Post Afterward, And There's Stuff To Do, And Then Suddenly You've Gone A Year Without Directing. There's A Part Of Me That Has To Not Be Tempted By That In Order To Commit More To The Directing. Honestly, The Big Reason For Me To Act Is To Observe Other Directors And Learn From Them. That Seems To Be The Biggest Draw.
