I take things very seriously, and I give myself time to come down and to ramp up, and it's an inside spiritual journey for me. I feel like acting is a way of feeling your personality, and it's really special. Special to have this kind of effect on people. You can only have that effect if you're really outside of yourself. You can't look at yourself and do what I do at the same time. I have done it that way in the past, but it doesn't really work. I can only soar within the parameters of time, and I use music analogies.

I'm not someone who is a fan of a lot of violence.

It was amazing to be nominated by the Academy who saw fit for me to be nominated for best supporting actor. The Critic's choice award was wonderful. I'm on cloud nine.

For me, what I try to heal is the major thing that I think all of us go through, where we came from. From our family of origin.

I just want to serve up the goodness and grace that's been given to me because I made a choice that lined up with my passion. And that's what I tell my kids.

I'm interested in spirituality and in religion and our relationship to the divine.

For me, listening to my breath in between the lines, allows me to be in deep connection to my spirit.
