I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.

If I have enough money to eat I'm good.

All of the things that have happened in my life have been self-propelled. I can't blame anybody else or point a finger at anybody.

I'm not a strikingly handsome guy, but I'm in movies.

I didn't read the book on how to be a well-adjusted celebrity.

Old Americana vintage gangster stuff has a fantastical feel; it feels less dirty in a way. It feels like the opera of crime.
