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.

Clooney is just a pretty boy, man, and that's it, OK? I carried him on my back long enough. I'm on my own.

Music is my life. The last job I had, I was a bricklayer's apprentice. And I was happy with that job, too, because it was something that made me feel good. To build a wall for the side of a building felt really good to me.

I think the most important thing is to always be involved in every aspect of their life. To give them enough trust that they can share things with you. I don't want them to be terrified of me, you know? But I don't want them to think they can do whatever they want and get away with it, either, because they can't.

Look, if you're driving down the highway at 120 miles an hour, I'd rather be behind the wheel than in the backseat.

The important thing is that ever since I realized all the wrongs that I had done, I have been trying to correct them for the past 27 years.
