Every character I play is me, always has been.

I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.

I've been married five times, and people think that's some bizarre thing, yet I've got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I'm like "Which is better?" At least I was trying.

Now, if you want to do realistic, kind of heavier acting stuff, you do it on Amazon or Netflix or whatever or HBO.

The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.

Sometimes we don't want the bad guy to get caught because otherwise the story is over. You want to at least see it through to the end.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.
