Playing characters that speak a very violent language was my livelihood.

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.

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 boxed through college and I played college level football. I was a linebacker.

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.

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.

The world is a dangerous, unstable place and sometimes there are casualties and struggles for power.
