I always try to get as personal as I can with the characters that I play, which is a reason why I don't play a lot of characters.

Consciously or subconsciously, we become slaves to debt and social obligation. As a result, we end up more committed to the minutia and less in tune with the bigger picture: our deepest sense of purpose.

Being able to engage my creativity in a way that makes a difference inspires me more than anything.

I worked for this company that repossessed cars. Sure enough, the day after I quit, they repossessed my car, but that would probably be my strangest job to date. You have to work your way up to become a hardcore repo man.

I don't want every fan; I'm interested in fans interested in quality work, authentic archetype depictions.

My goal in life is to bring to the screen really believable depictions that make you think, "Damn, I have to look within myself."

I had a grandmother who would always encourage me to learn about theater and film.
