Our friendship [ with Don Handfield] has remained all that time, and I'm godfather to his kids, but then when The Hurt Locker came around, I just knew there was a lot of opportunity that was coming in, and just couldn't really manifest any opportunities because things were busy.

My philosophy on what makeup is...it's very different from what a woman's is. Makeup came from a very psychological place - of the peacock.

I like repressed characters. That gives me a lot of freedom to make a lot of different choices through subtleties.

We kept moving forward, kept pretty particular about certain things. Don Handfield is really great with story, so we kept working on it from that angle and developed a lot of IP over the years, which we became very proud of.

I feel connected to that idea of wanting to belong to something, to have a sense of purpose as a man on the planet.

I want to be a good human being.

I think, strangely, a strip club can tell you a lot about the city you're in. If you call a strip club "Tuna's," I've gotta go in there. Usually you're not seeing the top talent around, but it's not about that. It's about the experience.
