I hope the perception is that I'm an actor, I never intended to be a movie star.
My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.
I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx.
All I am is what I'm going after.
The thing that can get you a little upset is when people say other people are better than you. That can bug you.
The actor becomes an emotional athlete.
What's this thing that gets between us and Shakespeare?
I don't regret anything. I feel like I've made what I would call mistakes. I picked the wrong movie, or I didn't pursue a character, but everything you do is part of you and you get something from it.
Love goes through different stages. But it endures.
It wasn't until I got older that I realized acting was something I could really do.
There was a time in my life when being dishonest with women was the natural way to be. I finally said, "Hey, I have to stop this silliness."
My weaknesses... I wish I could come up with something. I'd probably have the same pause if you asked me what my strengths are. Maybe they're the same thing.

The fruit falls off the tree. You don't shake it off before it's ready to fall.
