If I don`t need the money, I don`t work. I don`t mind going to somebody and saying, `Okay, this is how much money I need to pay my bills for the next six months. If you pay me that, I`ll do the film`.
I played cops and robbers and pirates and all the rest when I was a kid, but I didn`t want to grow up and be an actor and play cops and robbers and pirates. I wanted to grow up and be that, be cops and robbers and pirates.
I`ve had a lazy career, sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I`m walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I`m much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side. - 2005
I`m not eager at all to present my life out there for public consumption. I like to do one or two films a year and then do what is absolutely obligatory in terms of promoting them. My life outside of films is vital to me. - 1995.
I have my own artistic sensibilities and Crash complements them. It is a provocative, challenging, disturbing film made for adults. It`s not a skeleton in the closet for me.
