Personal Quote:

The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You've got to give them a year and a half, two years. They are getting so much smoke blown, and their whole world gets so turned upside down, their responses become distorted. I give everybody a year or two to pull it together because, when it first happens, I know how it is. See more »

Trivia:

He was considered for Charles Grodin's role in Beethoven (1992). See more »

Trademark:

In the later years of his career, he frequently plays depressed characters (Lost in Translation (2003), Broken Flowers (2005), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), Rushmore (1998), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)) See more »
