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'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.

I approach a comedy the same way I do a drama. I try to make it as real as possible.

There will be new and exciting filmmakers to come and movies that will be great successes.

I miss being able to wake up when I want and go on stage when I want and pull down my pants when I want.

I just focus on my work with inner-city kids, and in my community, and on my philanthropic work.

You can't have a conscience in the pimp game.
