Tarantino and Jackson is like Scorsese and DeNiro, and their silent communication.

Art is not created in a vacuum. That experience is something to be shared with a group of people, and to be moved in that way.

I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.

When you get the call from Quentin Tarantino, it's the call of a lifetime. You don't allow yourself to be vulnerable enough or to be fool enough to expect that phone call to happen, in reality.

I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.

I think I'm much too earnest to be as cool as 'Boyd Crowder'.

An actor that tells you that they have real choices between material is, for the most part, lying. There are very few people that have opportunities. But what you do have where I am in my career, is saying no to the things that seem repetitious. For me, I always look for material that allows me to bring my worldview to it. And those opportunities, since the beginning of The Shield, have grown exponentially.
