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

The guy who kills 38 people is not the guy you'd want to have over at Thanksgiving.

Sadly, in this country - maybe this is in the history of the world, really - it's the urban experience versus the bucolic experience. And it is different, but therein lies the slow progression of democracy. We are a melting pot.

Whenever you show up on a set where you haven't been from the beginning - at least myself - I'm kind of quiet. I just watch the politics and how everything unfolds. It's kind of like going to a new high school. You want to see who everyone is before you introduce yourself, really, to kind of make friends. I think any smart person does that in social situations

For violent people to make themselves vulnerable, and then to have that vulnerability be used against them, bad things can happen.

Unfortunately, when you're the king of the hill, there's really only one way to go, and that's down.

I'm kind of the funny guy that hopefully kind of wins your heart if I did my job.
