All I know is, I don`t do a lot of analysis. I know those words have to move me. I rely on the author. I don`t want actors reasoning with me about "motivation" and all that bull. All I want `em to do is learn the goddamn lines and don`t bump into each oth...

One of the most painful things of the L.A. Confidential (1997) character I played was that the author, James Ellroy, kept telling me that Bud White wasn`t a drinker. I said, `come on, this is 1953. He`s a blue-collar bloke, a cop. You`re telling me he doe...
Russell Crowe
I think he is the greatest example of all that an author of the cinema should be. I feel a fraternal affinity with his way of telling a story. - on Akira Kurosawa
Federico Fellini
I think in fact that unless there is an organic link between the subjective impressions of the author and his objective representation of reality, he will not achieve even superficial credibility, let alone authenticity and inner truth.
