When I first started making films like 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Urban Cowboy,' those were accidents as far as social impact is concerned and we didn't know what we were doing as far as the effects they would have. But when you make decisions like 'Primary Colors' or 'A Civil Action,' those are bolder and kind of dangerous in a way because you can't be guaranteed that anyone will come to them.

Those are usually your better parts because you're not worried about the likeability, ... I think it's a great movie because of the idea that we're not afraid to be at moments unappealing and true to those people who are drinkers and are not always in the best mood. And they're often wicked. And they're sometimes emotional.
I've hit a milestone in my life, turning 50, and if I waited any longer I'd have to write two books. I've had such a full life, I really want to share it.
I was just thinking of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and how young they were when they died. I would like to be a pop icon who survives. I would like to be a living icon.
And now after all this time I finally figured out how to trap him... I will become him. [Face-Off quotes]
I would love to do that, ... We're planning on doing that in the near future, perhaps later this year.
When all else fails, fresh tactics! [Face-Off quotes]

[Devito, with the help of director Quentin Tarantino, persuaded the actor to make this one.] He couldn't convince me at first because I wasn't familiar with the book, and then he had Quentin call me, ...
