QUOTES:

If I was roped into a seven-year TV contract I’d probably hang myself. It’s a TV show – selling cars, cereal, soda pop. TV is like that. The shows are incidental to the commercials. I always laugh when TV shows pat themselves on the back for being cutting-edge. I mean, an interracial kiss on Ally McBeal (1997) is cutting-edge? I’ve never been shocked by anything on television, except the news.

I didn’t have a lot of ambition, which I think was a good thing. I was ambitious about quality, but I wasn’t ambitious in the “I’ve got to get a pilot!” way.

It’s like, once you’ve seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you’ve seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can’t fully get really lost in them.
