I've been in plenty of situations where I thought the film would turn out one way or my performance would be looked at one way and it was an entirely different situation.

It's always great to do a movie that you find is entertaining, but also can give some sort of political or social message.

There is a segment of the American population that has been excluded from the national myth, and that should be redressed.

I maintain that no movie can be funny enough. I mean even the most serious, even the most intense movie and I know enough about life to know in those dark moments inevitably someone will say something funny and I will be part of the whole experience.

I don't think movies can ever be too intense, but people have to understand why you're showing them the things you are showing them.

I never thought about that ever throughout the entire course of my career about choosing a specific role because it would make me seem more man-like.

I don't think it's a prize when actors and directors or writers and actors work together more than once. You have a trust and a shorthand and a lot of times you even reach the point, where in the process, you don't even have to talk.
