I was in a play directed by my father, and I was doing a fight scene, and the choreography went haywire, and I flew backward over a chair and ripped my thumb all the way to my wrist and had to have surgery to sew up all the tendons in there.

When you try to worry about missteps and all that kind of stuff, that's not the healthiest way to be.

You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?"

When you play a character with power and energy, people lock into that and go, "Oh, this must be the guy."

I'm one of these people who would rather show you than tell you through the performance.

I grew up on the stage, where you just throw yourself into projects and don't get in your own way.

Everyone's journey is completely different.
