But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.

Being a father is the greatest achievement and the most important thing about me. I have two great kids, no question.

But I'm not particularly comfortable around guns.

The idea of doing something that you've seen a thousand times before doesn't appeal to me.

It's nice that people want to compliment you in some superficial way, but I've never considered that that's how I might be categorized. I guess it's better than being called ugly.

In my career, I've often played the protagonist or the hero of the movie, and there are so many rules inherent to that role. The audience needs to stay with you, identify with you and like you. When you play the bad guy, those rules go out the window. There's so much freedom there.

The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they're artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.
