On making Seven Times Lucky:
"There isn't a lazily drawn character in this movie. Down to the guys sitting in the background of the bar, Gary has constructed a fully realized, wholly original universe. For the actors, it was a dream come true."

"I have no idea what the reality was behind my being cast as Sonny, but I felt I had to sort of fast talk the director much in the same way Sonny fast talks Harlan in the movie. It wasn't an easy part for me to get, but the sleaze and the annoyance came easily to me."
