I’m very happy to be involved with great filmmakers.

When I was in jail I could only think about what the average person has to go through – the person who has no power to go to the press or no money to hire a lawyer.

I got picked on a lot. I was a complete geek in school. I had braces. I didn’t have the hot girlfriend. I wasn’t ever sought after. I was a stocky, awkward kid who got laughed off the tennis court when I tried that.

You might be an interested guy, an interested reported then I get to know you and then I know you’re this also and you’re this also and you may hide it in a certain way. That’s what I love.

There’s always been violence in movies, and there will always be violence in movies. Whether it lends to the one psychotic that’s out there, thinking the worst thoughts you could possibly thing, is always going to be a mystery.

You’ve got this guy who refuses to die for some reason whether it be a physical or metaphysical reason or spiritual reason so you can do anything. You can kill off anybody and you can still bring them back because he’s kind of half there and half in reality, you know?

As an actor, doing it for 30 years, with every movie, you’re trying to figure out a way to make it more naturalistic and more organic to humanity. When you have lines like, “Never let the monster out,” it’s hard.

I grew up, especially as an actor thinking that I had to move to New York to be a good actor. But after a while you start to live the world a little bit and you start to appreciate where you’re from.

I only took a high school acting class because there was no other class I wanted to take. I loved it, but I was always against acting as a profession. I didn’t like the monetary fluctuations I saw.

Suddenly, I’m in movies that people are excited about, and that is a nice change.
