I have actual strong ideas. You just have to wait for the right timing. Timing is pretty crucial here. I can't dedicate a lot of energy and efforts trying to, say, create a show that I want to produce while I'm currently on another show.

American Sniper focuses on a soldier with 160 kills, or as Harvey Weinstein calls it, a slow morning.

I'm very interested in starting to produce, and direct, and have an umbrella over an entire project in the future. I'd like to have control over what the characters do. I think as an actor, you get a little too caught up in the moment-to-moment, beat-to-beat stuff to have perspective.

Oh sure, now you like him [after the audience applaud David Oyelowo].

My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun.

I've done plenty of daredeviling - from white-water rafting to bungee jumping. But I think the most fearless was hosting the Emmy Awards. It was overwhelming, and I definitely had to leave fear at the door.

I don't care about my "impact" - I only care about the theater as an art form and criticism as an act of writing.
