Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting.

I never look backwards. I have always been an athlete. I boxed before I acted.

I had some things I had to fix. It took me 14 years to do it. But it was never really fun back in the day to work with directors who were a lot older and were like authoritarian and talking to you like that.

[The tension] between the Christians and Muslims goes back to the Crusades, doesn't it? It's too easy to blame everything on one guy. These are unpredictable, dangerous times, and I don't think that anyone really knows quite what to do.

I probably did a dozen plays, like Off-Off-Broadway stuff.

I started to shortcircuit because I had high aspirations for the film. I never told anybody that.

Sometimes, when a man is alone, that's all you got is your dog.
