Filmmaking is a difficult process. There are the logistics of making a film. You have to do your part, and then change the entire thing around to do someone else's part. A lot of the magic is lost, in between that, and you have to figure out how to get it back.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

You can go left, you can go right, I don't give a damn. Just make a decision.

If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.

But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go.
