It's always been a dream of mine, and a childhood fantasy, to play a great champion. I would much rather haven been an athlete than an actor. This is like some second place consolation prize.

James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.

Any time someone says you have an opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese you jump at the chance.

There aren't really many compliments flying around with me and my friends. It's a lot of tough love. But you know, that love is there and if you need to have a serious conversation you just gotta wait for the right time to do it.

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.

As soon as I ended up being incarcerated, I said, you know, this is not the life for me.

I do understand that going out and promoting the movie is a big responsibility, and part of the reason they give me the job in the first place.
