I've been in scenarios as an actor where you have to manufacture an emotion that's not really there, but it wasn't hard with Halle because she's a great person and very beautiful, so it ain't a tough job at the end of the day.

I'm oftentimes called away from my family... it's rather hard for me to be away from them. We're very close.

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.

My sense of personal strength has always come from my family.

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.

I believe there's a huge distinction between un macho and a real man. I don't think you have to be one to be another.

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