Suddenly I was the man who got the part that every actor in the English language was trying to get. I was really scared. I had talked the talk, and now I had to walk the walk. For three days, I couldn't answer the phone.

I'm a very proud actor.

Whenever there were parties, I wasn't invited because I began to be like that character. In a way, that contributed to the success of the performance.

I was a hoodlum. I was a gang member, and art saved my life.

I'm just having a wonderful time. It's an interesting thing that I'm very comfortable with this material and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I did MacBeth.

I have two brothers buried in the military cemetery in Texas. I don't want to see any more of that.

I think creativity is spiritual. I absolutely believe that.
