I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

In life and in movies, it's a similar challenge, where you have expectations, and you end up in situations that are not meeting your expectations.

Words fall short sometimes.

I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.

Public charities, foodbanks and church pantries are doing more than ever before, but they can't keep up with the need. We can never end hunger only through the wonderful work of local charities. Like other Western democracies, we must end our national problem of hunger through national and political leadership. Charity is nice for some things, but not as a way to feed a nation. We don't protect our national security through charity, and we shouldn't protect our families and children that way either.

I've done movies in the past that have so many characters and I find it's very hard to follow all these stories. You end up not caring about any of the people and I thought that would be the case in this film, and you had these big speeches for each character, you know, it's like "God that's how you'll have to cut that down in order to paste it all", to edit the movie and my representatives could say "no, you really you ought to check it out.

It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.
