Animals... don't have a sense of time. You just have to do things over and over with animals until they happen to do it right because they don't really know what you want.
People have the illusion that all over the world, all the time, all kinds of fantastic things are happening. When in fact, over most of the world, most of the time, nothing is happening.
I think comedy is drama, often. It's hard to have comedy over a period of time - commercials are one thing, but over a period of time - comedy and tragedy go hand in hand.
It's pointless to be critical of your stuff once it's done. I don't spend a lot of time agonising over it. It's of no importance once it's finished.

McMurphy: Which one of you nuts has got any guts?
McMurphy: Get out of my way son, you're usin' my oxygen.
McMurphy: You're not an idiot. Huh! You're not a goddamn looney now, boy. You're a fisherman!
McMurphy: Goddamn it Chief, you about as big as a damn mountain!

The sad truth for American actors is that they really have no control whatsoever over the material that they get, or can do, particularly actresses. And if you're over 40 and you're an actress, forget it.
I love 'Husbands and Wives,' Woody Allen's movie. It's like one of my all-time favorites. I could watch it over and over again.
I don't listen to a lot of music any more and even the people I've loved for years - the Nick Drakes of this world - I can't go back to them and listen to them over and over.
When Woodstock ended on Monday morning, over 600 acres of garbage was left behind on Max Yasgur's farm. It took over 400 volunteers and $100,000 to remove it all.
The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they're not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow.
I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.
Venus: You better get in the mood, honey, 'cause he's payin' the rent.
