The best part of a great movie is a great villain and I usually have a tendency to root for the bad guy.

I was really inspired by the way people responded, and I wanted to tell that story [ 'Patriots Day']. It's never been more difficult or complicated for me to make a movie. It's about my home, my people, my community.

The first thing I do when I start my day is, I get down on my hands and knees and give thanks to God. Whenever I go outside of my house, the first thing I do is stop at the church.

For me, family always comes first I would do anything to protect them.

The world obviously needs to change ... if we can't protect our innocent women and children, then we have a serious problem.

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.

I love being on sets with very seasoned directors as well as very new directors. Every time is a discovery process. You learn something new every time.
