I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.

When you hang a man, you better look at him.

I think the only way it has influenced me is to cause me to try to branch out and do other things. So that people will know that I am reaching out and trying to be a little more versatile. So they realize he is not a "Dirty Harry." He doesn't advocate martial law or mayhem -it's a character.

I try to stick to a vegan diet heavy on fruit and vegetables.

That's why I don't rehearse a lot and why I shoot a lot immediately. I have ideas of where I'd like to take the character, but we both end up going together.

The cruelty of nature is you have to work out harder when you get older ... It should be the other way around: Work out hard when you're a kid you should be able to coast when you get older. But unfortunately you have to do more to stay in the same position.

You have to feel confident. If you don't, then you're going to be hesitant and defensive, and there'll be a lot of things working against you.
