When I'm acting, I wish I was out there, being a part of it and making it. It's all on your name to do that. It's your vision. You're going to get slandered for your work, and I like that. As an actor, it's so hard. I'd rather direct than act.

I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.

I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.

I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine.

To do six to 10 episodes of high-quality writing, and then be able to go direct my own things, and do a movie, if it comes along, sure. I just want to act and do good work.

I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based, so that I could direct Road to Paloma and show that side.

I wanted to know everything about the blues. I think it constantly changes for me.
