I didn't defraud the government by taking money that was not mine.

A lot of people now don't know I've been on Broadway.

I've always been paying my taxes and I've always been trying to comply.

I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.

There's a lot of great stuff on television and that's very appealing to actors who want to work, who do good quality and high quality work. But you're always concerned that the time demands on television will interrupt or interfere with your film work.

I grew up in the Bronx. The Bronx teaches you to survive. It's like, 'Bring it on!'

I'm not guilty. You're the one that's guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Just like you did with alcohol during Prohibition. You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kick the ballistics here: ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem. Not one of us in here owns a poppy field. This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. This is big business. This is the American way.
