I've made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you're bored. The boredom will show in your work.

I don't really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don't have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don't get to do in real life.

There is no length that is too great to go to in order to protect your child.

Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do - honesty but subtlety.

I find myself enjoying a deeper love than I ever imagined was possible in the form of my daughter and certainly in the union with my wife. It makes everything else, including work, which is one of the things I'm most passionate about, pale by comparison.

Just be loving. You also have to recognize that you need to take the focus off yourself and put it on your children to give them a proper start in life.
