At the end of whatever we're doing, I always feel like I want to go back and start over again because now I have a better sense of what it is. I feel that with everything. Like, if you're doing like a long run of a play and you're doing it seven shows a week, at the end of it, I want to go back and start from the beginning.

What is important is to maintain integrity of the story, of the character, of the movie, even if it's a big production.

I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.

For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.

I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.

I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.
