Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

Cynicism can be funny. But it's the easy way. You'll forget to enjoy anything. I try to make the evolving choice, the forward-moving, life-giving choice. Just keep living, man.

I have my own vocabulary. I love linguistics. That surprises people.

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?

My whole family are hams. They're storytellers and everyone outdoes the next one.

Directors like William Friedkin (Killer Joe), Steven Soderbergh (Magic Mike) and Lee Daniels (The Paperboy) got in touch with me and wanted me to be part of their films. That was a whole new chapter for me. I didn’t chase any of those films and it made me think that I was right to take a chance, say no to the kind of thing I had grown tired of doing, and wait until something good came around. And it did.

I don't know how to work a room. It's a real skill.
