What made me most courageous was that I realized I had to try to let go of that stereotype I had in my mind, that bit of homophobia, and try for a second to be vulnerable and sensitive. It was f**kin' hard, man. I succeeded only for milliseconds.

I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?

I love 'Training Day' - that's a great movie.

I didn't know many classes where I could try and relate the thing that I really loved and wanted to do into an intellectual idea.

Sometimes you need an anchor, whatever it might be. You need a space to connect. So often you get into a way of doing things.

When you have the opportunity to choose projects, inevitably you start being moved towards the things that you're moved by, right? And that changes over time, as we change, right?

I think I work as hard as I do now, because of a lot of lessons I've learned early on.
