I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.

I'm not the kind of actor that gets crazy with [directors'] names, what draws me toward a project is the material itself.

I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.

Celebrity is very weird.

I've played people that are on the line of evil and good, but that's life. We are always playing with the good and the bad. I see them as people. I don't see them as caricatures. I try to not make them caricatures. Maybe I fail, but I try to see what' behind them. Would I play the hero? A superhero? I don't think so. But, I play good guys. There are some there, but you have to look.

People have been born in refugee camps and they are getting tired of that.

An award doesn't necessarily make you a better actor.
