Having been a father for 19 years I realise fatherhood has changed me.

I think that if you go about making movies to win Oscars, you’re really going about it the wrong way.

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

My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.

One of the great bonuses of being a film actor is that I get to go to different places, meet inspiring people and learn different things. So all those details add up.

I'll speak for myself, but there's a lot of humor to be found in sarcasm and darkness. You talk to any paramedic, they survive by developing a pretty off-kilter sense of humor.

I went to New Orleans for the first time for Wild at Heart, and I kept going back to make more movies there. I've become very close to the city and part of me does feel like a New Orleanian.
