I don't lecture and I don't grind any axes. I just want to entertain.

I had that stubborn streak, the Irish in me I guess.

They say the bad guys are more interesting to play but there is more to it than that - playing the good guys is more challenging because it's harder to make them interesting.

I just do things I really enjoy. I enjoy acting. When I'm driving to the studio, I sing in the car. I love my work and my wife and my kids and my friends. And I think, 'You're a lucky man, Gregory Peck, a damn lucky man.'

Sorry, honey, but I haven't worn a nightgown in years.

The emotion is the music and the script is the libretto.

I put everything I had into it - all my feelings and everything I'd learned in 46 years of living, about family life and fathers and children. And my feelings about racial justice and inequality and opportunity.
