I've turned down good directors before because I knew the part didn't speak to me and I've worked with less talented directors before because the part I had such passion for.

'Brooklyn's Finest,' this is the kind of movie that's why I want to be an actor, to tell real-life stories. This is where I feel my job is, to interpret life.

The only thing I can point to of why I survived is I have a family that loves me and never wanted any money from me.

I think that if you walk through this life and I end up being a bad father, then it won't matter anything else I achieved in my life. It will all be irrelevant.

I'm horrified to admit that I just love Salinger. I was devastated to find out that other people feel the same way.

Time is so much a part of what makes you close to people.

Your development as a person should coincide with your development in all aspects of your life.
