My passion is becoming involved in good work, whether that means as an actor or writer or director or producer or all - that is not as important to me.

I think, and I mean this sincerely, I was raised humbly. We were a lower middle income family and a household that was scrimping by at times. We were watching the dollar, stretching the dollar, and coupons. It was all those things.

When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!

I want to make sure that what I do has specific purpose and is not just throwing a dart at something to keep busy.

I'm just a big boy, I'm still just playing cowboys and Indians and astronaut and baseball player and all that stuff that I used to play as a kid.

Bad for the sake of bad is boring to me and not believable.

Any kind of civil rights oppression is wrong.
