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

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

It's really rare that you come across a Southern character that's not stereotyped, vilified or aggrandized.

I love the process of acting, simply because I like to play make believe. But for me, it is purely make believe and it is a process of playing.

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

I feel there’s no need to overstate.

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible.
