I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

I don't know how to put on any tough guy pretensions.

I grew up in the South, so a huge part of our American History education revolved around the Civil War.

I think the American Western laid down a kind of subject matter that's about following your instinct or following your gut and having a sort of removed quality from your humanity. And I think Clint Eastwood helped to establish that.

I feel there’s no need to overstate.

I don't go to movies for redemption - if I want that, I'll go to church!

Good and bad are really arbitrary words when it comes to character.
