“Lovelace” was really great. I got to work with the wonderful Amanda Seyfried, Hank Azaria and Peter Sarsgaard, so it can’t get no better than that, right?

I have an amazing wife, Tia, and an amazing son, Cree, and I'm a family man first and they keep me grounded. They're my support system, so they make me stronger.

I dreamed of doing stuff like Will Smith and films on a big scale.

Will Smith would say your five closest friends are what you end up to be and ever since I heard him say that, I said I gotta know who's in my life because that's who you're going to become. That's advice I'd give to these young men out here, killing each other and at war at each other because it's bigger than that.

It's a choice if you want to change your life for the better. Life is cause and effect, it's all about choices. And what you do today can deter the next 30 years of your life. You gotta be careful, you gotta pick your friends wisely.

I love doing movies that touch people's lives.

We need our Dads right now, we need strong fathers. I really want fathers to get close to their children.
