Lincoln' is a powerful film. It's one of those epic films that talk about this very specific issue in history of the United States.

My two brothers and I grew up in the theater, going everywhere with my parents when they performed.

When you have great scripts, everything is very easy and fun.

One wants to think that - and this is really a stupid thought - that through your art or whatever you do as an actor you can actually affect someone else's lives and thoughts or whatever.

I’m an actor who’s accustomed to bringing a lot of stuff to the table, and you have to be ready because some of them will be accepted and some of them will be rejected. Then you need a generous, free, fearless, loving director like Tarantino to allow you to take those risks.

The immigration issue is about the separation of families, and that is not human, in any country in the world, but especially in the United States. We should not root for a law that separates families.

I'm an old-fashioned guy.
