I can be very critical on myself and on other people; I can be very demanding.

It has been very erotic and provocative for people to wonder about my feelings for women.

It's always difficult to play a scene of physical violence because you're always afraid that you don't know your own strength and might hurt someone.

All women who kill or have sexual obsessions or who are prostitutes have trouble with their fathers.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

I am receiving as much love for 'Four Shots More Please!' as I got for 'Pink,' if not more. It's heart-warming.

I'm unconventional and eccentric and talk things out, and it seemed that the person I married - maybe in reaction - got quieter and more conventional over time. It felt as if we were putting each other in a straitjacket.

I couldn't write a happy movie or romantic comedy to save my life. Yes, Noel Coward's an idol, but his plays are serious to me. 'Private Lives' and 'Design for Living' both have an edge. Without psychoanalyzing myself, I think I exorcise my demons in my work.
