People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.

Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!

I've really dreamed of doing television. All of us do television, coming up. But when I was coming up, television was a black hole for actors. Now, television has a certain cache. Now everybody wants to be on TV because they're doing adult dramas. If you're an actor, it's like, "Well, get me on television," because it's the only place you can do it and also make a living at it. If my kids need shoes, I better do a TV show because I damn sure don't make any money with independent films.

Independent films now, they want to give you $2 million to make it, 21 days to shoot it and they want 10 movie stars in it.

Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.

Marketing is the devil.

I don't think anybody chooses to be an underdog.
