Im not a big fan of patterns. I like the unexpected.

Actors tend to get better with age. You start cutting away the useless stuff and achieving a point of effortlessness and simplicity, which is all you want to do, with any art at all.

I'd never read a piece of television where it's an hour script and it's perfect.

Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.

It has taken a long time for me to be able to really just be in front of the camera.

To be brutally honest, I am a little bit of a Clint Eastwood nerd. Clint Eastwood who was the man who drew me into movies. When everybody else was watching Star Wars, I was watching Fistful of Dollars.

You need to be disciplined and you need to try to occupy a zone of acting that is always quite scary because you don't think you're doing anything.
