When you’re making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.
When I was working on pictures with my father, there were a couple leading ladies to whom I wish I’d expressed how I felt rather than being too cool or too shy.
I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father.
Do you know what absolute happiness is? For me, it is to wake up my kids in the morning – these little pieces of innocence – to wake them and find they’re so happy to see me! It is unequivocal love, no question about it.
There’s nothing like a family crisis, especially a divorce, to force a person to re-evaluate his life.
I guess there are some women who like older men, but it’s a smaller group.
It’s difficult for me to meet women because my crowd is much older. I know that for some of the young women I do meet, a relationship with me can be envisioned as a benefit to their career.
My movies are usually about stripping off the makeup, getting down to the skeleton.
My mother and father met at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He was a senior and she was a junior, and their marriage didn’t last very long.
I went into rehab to save my marriage, but I wound up saving myself.
Like a lovely orchid, or anything else that’s nurtured, marriage prospers and grows, but if it’s ignored, it withers.
My marriage and my families come certainly before my career.
During my first marriage, my career was the most important thing in my life.
I have nothing against her, and in fact I’m very fond of my first wife. But we should have ended that marriage eight or 10 years earlier.
It took me too long to realise that if you go to a marriage counsellor to resolve problems, it’s in his interest to keep the marriage going.
I don’t smile a lot in my pictures. I’m always so… grim.
