I like flawed characters very much. A lot of times I get asked to do parts that are kind of small but key - three-scene roles that are three kick-ass scenes. Growing up, watching as many movies as I did, I was always into character actors like that.

I've met people I wished I hadn't met. But Al Pacino was not one of them. For a guy who's old enough to be my father I feel like we're kindred spirits. We have a lot in common. Our families and our history with our families is very similar. Our relationships with our families is very similar. We had a lot more in common than I thought.

I'm getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage.

I try to have all my characters have a sense of humor. To me the most interesting thing is a desperate character. I think desperation is funny.

I've never won an award for anything, and I think it's weird. I mean, that's really cool but it's strange to think you could get an award for acting. I always thought that was strange.

I never thought I would get married and have kids. I thought I was going to be a gypsy actor, traveling all over the world playing the great roles. I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective.

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater.
