Every family is dysfunctional.

Freedom is not negotiable.

I wish we didn’t have to tell this story.

I’m a staunch anti-Castro individual.

You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you’ve got to love him.

I was a big fan of Joe’s film, Narc, so when you hear there’s a script coming over from Joe Carnahan, you know it’s going to be interesting because he has such a fresh voice.

I think if the movie has resonance and stimulates the viewer to talk about it, you can have as large an audience as you want. The most important thing for me is that the movie exists. And that’s success enough already.

My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. I don’t know what the natural transition of it was. I mean I acted a little bit when I was young and like any kid would in a community theatre.

It depends. When it’s the right scenario, it’s just as stimulating and just as exciting for me. It’s just a question of finding a piece of material that lights a fire under you.

I don’t control the movies that are offered to me, but I make choices based on certain parameters.
