Everybody works in a different way, and I've worked with actors that have no training whatsoever who are phenomenal.

I learned construction and carpentry from my father at a young age, so I felt very comfortable and I felt very satisfied when I worked in that field.

When script is written well, then you start to make decisions of, "Well, do I want to be away from home for that long? Do I like the people involved?" When it's written well, a lot of those things go away and you can't not do it.

If you disarm someone's hands - they cannot kill you!

Most people don't like challenges at work. Actors love challenges at work.

If youd asked me after Band of Brothers what thing I wanted to do next, I certainly never would have imagined Southland.

A lot of times, actors give so much power to the producers and the producing companies because, quite frankly, they have it. But we don't take the limited power that we have, which the power you initially have is to say 'no.' But 'no' in a positive way.
