I was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

I loved 'Saturday Night Fever' when I was a kid. I couldn't believe people talked that way. It was just a whole new culture I didn't understand. I snuck into it. It was an R-rated film. So it holds a special place.

Democracy doesn't work unless the public is informed.

By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You've just got to keep moving. You can't stop.

You dont know someone until you know what they want.

I had the luxury of working on the script with Andrew [Dominik] for a good year before the film started, so I was already intimate with the story [of The Assassination of Jesse James] and felt quite prepared walking into it.

I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what's more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on.
