A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I'm a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.

I've got a pretty wide range of stuff that I'm interested in in life. But producing... it gives me a lot more time at home to spend with my family as opposed to being away on location shooting nights for months at a time.

When you think about the person responsible for creating the character and the dialogue, Bill Monahan, who's a Boston guy, obviously, his words roll off my tongue quite nicely.

I prepare mentally and physically for everything I do. I like having to do both, because you submerge yourself into the character and the world and you live it until it's over.

The only thing I don't like about acting is that it takes so much time away from my family. Otherwise, I don't have any complaints.

I also like to get out there to promote a positive message about the importance of family and faith and of doing the right thing.

I don't like to eat in movies. I don't like props. Some people have always got to have a thing and they're doing this or doing that. I hate it. I just want to talk or fight. Or both!
