I'll never forget the moment I became a dad. It's hard to describe-that level of responsibility, the desire to give such joy, the clarity: Nothing is more important than this.

Where do I get my seriousness? You can't help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she's making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.

The exciting part of acting, I don't know how else to explain it, are those moments when you surprise yourself.

I had to train myself to focus my attention. I became very visual and learned how to create mental images in order to comprehend what I read.

Whether it's making a film or raising my children, personally I'm striving to do the right things and to learn.

I've had such extremes in my life. From being this kind of wild kid, to one year studying to be a Franciscan priest at the seminary....I was very frustrated.

When I work, I work very hard. So I look to work with people who have that level of dedication. And I depend on that from everyone. From the director to my crews that I work with.
