Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live.
If I hadn't made it as an actor, I might have wound up a hood.
As far as art and filmmaking is concerned, I don't see there's any separation; it's just one continuous thing.
I liked being in the Marines. They gave me discipline I could live with. By the time I got out, I was able to cope with things on a more realistic level.
I worked hard, and if you work hard you get the goodies.
I hope you find what you're looking for.
