You look at your past and things that are unresolved and figure out what you need to do to move forward and fill a role with your family and in your community.

I grew up with a very quick temper, and the language of violence is a language that I'm very familiar and comfortable with.

I'm also the father of three beautiful children and I've been married to my wife for 18 years, and we've been together for 20 years, so I have a very tender side.

The violence is the violence. I understand that we're sometimes squeamish about it, but I think that strength needs to be called on once in awhile, and sometimes that's the only thing that will work.

I'm at a point in my life where I have three kids. I'm a father, and you start to take stock and measure yourself as a man and see where there's room for growth.

If you give a scene enough room to breathe, actors will hopefully find those magical moments.

You really have to be a character to serve it properly. Obviously, you're acting, but you have to have those things in yourself, whether it's the experience or the same qualities.
