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.

Being a Catholic is the most important aspect of my life.

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.

Hopefully, we're still living in the land of second chances.

If I am awarded a pardon for my philanthropic work, great; if not, I will continue to be involved in the community and to work just as hard, if not harder, to prevent kids from going down the same road and making the same mistakes.

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.

I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; take Thursday off; then I work out Friday and Saturday. So sometimes I'll eat whatever I want on Thursday, like a big breakfast of pancakes and bacon and eggs and stuff. You can eat a big, hearty breakfast because you're going to burn off most of it during the day anyway.
