Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.

This directing thing just sort of fell my way and landed in my lap.

And like everybody else, I like the Rocky movies, but if you look at them again you can see all the misses, but the intensity of it, but that wasn't what this is.

I'm trying my hand at writing. I'm writing a couple of projects for HBO, a half hour comedy and a miniseries.

Acting is the easiest money you'll ever make in your life, and directing is probably the hardest money.

Juan Hernandez was an actor out of New York, but what made Juan so great and what made Omar so great was that they both already knew how to box, so we didn't have to take them into a gym and teach them how to throw a left jab.

I didn't go to film school, I went to acting school.
