I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela.

On any movie I'm involved with, I say what I think.

Yeah, I had actually tried to stop acting before I made Dead Man Walking.

That on a romantic level, if you feel it about somebody and it's pure, it means that they do too.

You're always having to live more to fuel something new. It's an obligation to yourself and to the audience. The personal baggage that comes with being a known actor just adds to that struggle.

You need governance, but you also need a middle class, you need agriculture, they need to be able to export. I think that's probably the biggest issue, the job creation that could come with the kinds of things that Haiti has all the potential in the world to export.

There is no re-inventing the wheel.
