When I Was Really Young, My Mom

I Think It Would Really Be More Like 10 Films Before I Locked In And Said, "yeah, I'm Really Gonna Do This Thing."

I Found That Photography Was A Great Way Of Relaxing On The Set.

Making A Film, It Uses A Certain... 'pretend-muscle,' I Don't Know What You Want To Call It. It Exhausts Something In Me, I Find. It Has To Be Really Something To Get Me Interested.

I Had Success As An Actor Relatively Early. When I Was 22, I Got Nominated For An Academy Award For The Last Picture Show, So That Road, You Know, Had The Least Resistance. I Was Doing My Music All That Time, But It's Pretty Hard To Turn Down These Great Movie Offers. And My Father Counseled Me; He Said, "you Know, One Of The Wonderful Things About Acting Is That You Can Incorporate All Of Your Interests Into The Different Parts You Play." I'm Glad I Listened To The Old Man, Because That's The Way It Turned Out.

You Always Hear People Say That Having Kids Changes Everything, But You Can't Fully Realize It Until You Have Children Yourself.
