At the core of every person or belief, there's a pain and a thorn. There's always something, whether it's a physical thing, a health thing, or an I wish I had someone or something in my life thing. We all know some level of pain, so I like to see the ugliness of characters. It's a side that we show, only when we strip down in the bathroom mirror.

My thing is to gain the respect as an actor, as a professional, and the friendship and everything else will happen from there.

The most successful people reach the top not because they are free of limitations, but because they act in spite of their limitations

When you love someone unconditionally, you go to war for them, and they do that for each other. They know they can call each other when they need each other. In this day and age, everyone needs a friend like in Hap and Leonard.

You know, my childhood was pretty colorful; I like to use the word turbulent.

For me, my past characters been hard, the way they died, being murdered, the sadness that goes around, the death. It's a very hard thing to do.

I use my job to engage empathy and compassion for people society might stereotype or ostricise.
