As an actor to watch an audience of people howl together in a single mind as a result of work you've done together with friends is a privilege.

I fear other actors who are not prepared. And I fear directors who are afraid.

I'm a believer in belief. Faith is something that works - it causes people to do things, it has results. It's an intangible, indefinable, very real thing. And it moves people, sometimes to atrocity. And sometimes to survival.

What appeals to me? There are things, points of view, uses of the language, habits of dress, ways of thought and believing that came to me from my grandparents and came to them from theirs. Things that are of good use in any situation, no matter what the future may hold.

As a child of West Texas, I identify with Hispanic culture every bit as much as I do North American culture.

The world's not a very comfortable place if you have a nightmare to face.

I don't get it. If you're saying, Tommy Lee, you don't fit the image of the East Coast, social elitist wealthy people who comprise Harvard, the only thing I can say is you have no idea what comprises Harvard.
