I'm not a trained actor. I'm someone who is autodidactic and learned on my own.

One of the pluses of getting older is you set some limits.

I've really had good luck working with younger actors. Every younger actor that I have worked with has always been really on top of their game and fascinating to watch.

In the beginning my energy and passion for acting came from an almost punk rock need to express a lot of anger wherever that may have come from. As I got older, it became or is coming more from a place of wanting to use the craft to help others in some way, to hold a mirror up to the situations that we're going through, to actually be more cautious about the way that I use the power of film and to see if there's anything that I can do in the performances that will resonate in the public a similar string that's on people's minds and is on my mind. That way we have that relationship.

I think it's no secret that I've tried to take chances in my career and also in my life, and I believe to not live in fear.

I try to do as many stunts as they'll let me do. I think it's important for an audience to feel that the actor's really doing it.

You often feel like you are on a high wire with no net productions because you have to rely on spontaneity and come up with ideas on the spur of the moment - and then what happens is that there is electricity to it that gets caught.
