Well, it was interesting because when I was going to do it the first time in my head was Leonardo DiCaprio [for Chris] and Marlon Brando was going to play the character that Hal Holbrook eventually played. But then when it wasn't to be and there was no promise that it ever would be I think some part of me didn't want to attach specifics to it anymore - actors or anything else - because I wanted to see it made that much more badly.

My favorite thing to do is not act - it's that simple.

There is a kind of sense of truth and reconciliation that is non-formalized, but it's understood and accepted. Haitians are Haitians and there is an inherent loyalty that forgives an awful lot.

I think we all have light and dark inside us.

I'm not good at talking to strangers, whether they're sick children or they're - I'm just not good. I'm shy with it.

In between, I go broke because I seem to do movies where you're not paid a lot as an actor.

At this stage, what would be rewarding would be for audiences to want to watch.
