I like movies. Movies have afforded me a modicum of luxuries. The thing about the movies is, if you're bad in a movie, you're bad forever.

So I feel like success is opportunity plus preparation, so work begets work, and as long as you're prepared it's going to continue to come your way.

Do you want to be an actor, or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So, if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I’m going to do that.

I'm a firm believe that a man looks his best in a suit and I feel like in the late 40's people just dressed up to do everything.

With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.

Most of the time when you see a movie, the best character in the movie is not "the guy," it's the guy next to the guy.

In New Orleans, where I'm from, the average household income, with two working parents, two kids, a dog and a little fence is $16,000 a year, so $15,000 for a movie sounds pretty good.
