We don't want to go to a movie and sit in a lecture.

In the 'Hurt Locker' there's a lot of me in there, a sense of humor, a man of few words and a lot of action.

When I was growing up, I wasn't taught how to feel or communicate feelings.

There is definitely a sense of pride to it - it's more precious when you cook something up from the beginning and you see it all the way to the end, and you get a little bit more of a say.

People find themselves in ruts all the time. You're in a complacent lifestyle where you work 9 to 5 and then you add a mortgage and kids. You feel trapped, but guess what, brother? You constructed that life. If you're OK with it, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you've got unease, then you've got to make a change.

I love my small town, and I love going back there and supporting the community. But I could not have stayed there. No way.

What matters is how I feel about it, cause if I feel good or bad about it, then the audience will feel good or bad about it and that's just sorta the job.
