For the last 20 years of my life, I've had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects, so I'm attracted to good story, writing and character and good people. That's what I'm always searching for and I don't think that's ever going to change.

I met Robert Rodriguez working on a movie called 'Roadracers.'

I don't mean to be highfalutin about it, but I try to limit my visibility.

I do not feel an exile from America in any sense.

Even the small amount of infamy I have makes me uncomfortable - on a personal level and on a professional level.

I've never had any delusions about being a leading man, and it's not sour grapes to say that in the best films that I've always enjoyed, the cliched leading man type isn't a part of the picture.

I generally play strong people and scary people.
