Haiti kind of gets a hold of you.

Sense of self, and the way one shares it, is perhaps the most valuable and poetic gift in the arsenal of one's life and craft.

I think that I've still not been successful at playing the role of the retired actor, and I'd like to work on that.

Rebel is just as bad a word as maturity.

I've been a road-rat since I got my driver's licence at 16, so I've probably gone across America 20 times.

It has nothing to do with the emotional demands of a role; I've done comedies that are as draining to me as any drama.

The heartbreak that it might not happen wasn't something that I wanted to face with any more weight. Then, when I got the call to go ahead I never thought for a second as I was approaching it who I would get - that would come later. Again, I think the idea was that I now had the rights to make the movie and I can start writing it but if I have to wait another 10 years before I find an actor that's right for it, I'd be very happy to do that.
