There are certain moments that you have to hit in a film, like when a character cries.

My focus on 9/11 was on the victims - in the towers, in the planes - and all that loss.

The father-son thing, that's a separate thing. This film [Forsaken] was not about that. This was a film about two actors wanting to try and tell a story... and taking advantage of the fact that we looked like a father and son.

I'm not that complicated as an actor. I have a formula in which I work, yeah. But not like Sean Penn does. Sean is one of the few actors I know who can work like that, actually becoming the character he is playing, and get consistent results. I don't believe you can ever be someone else. You manifest different levels of your own personality to come up with a character.

People respond to a guy who is trapped and succeeds on some level and fails on another.

When I saw Virginia Woolf, somewhere between the first and second acts, someone I had known as my mother became somebody else.

Commander I believe in God and his son Jesus Christ and because I do I can say this. Private Santiago is dead and that is a tragedy. But he is dead because he had no code. He is dead because he had no honor. And God was watching.
