Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You!?

My whole career strategy has been to build a base so that I could take the roles I want to play. I'd hate to think that a shorter part might not be available because I was worried about my billing.

I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.

Life doesn't have to be about finding Osama bin Laden or becoming the president of the United States. Life is about the little things, which is one of the things you learn when you get older.

Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?

I've always fought against being controlled and manipulated and stomped upon by circumstances.

I have never felt brutalized as an actor. Many actors do, some times, but I've never had that experience. If I'm not happy with the balance, I just won't work with that person again.
