I've had my moments of insanity. But there is a certain responsibility to set proper examples for your children, and that influences your choices in every aspect of your life.
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 listen to and I play all kinds of music, and I'm interested in jazz and in bluegrass - I like it all - but Cuban music speaks to me in a certain way.
I wish we didn't have to tell this story.
It's important, when going after a goal, to never lose sight of the integrity of the journey.
You have to love the guy that you play, even if you play the villain, you've got to love him.
If you want to experiment, do something temporary.
Everybody has a dream, and everybody knows people who have a dream that they don't want to share with anybody because they're too embarrassed to share.
I think it's most important for children to understand the concept of respect and manners and also work ethic. I have a responsibility to those who came before me.

I don't think lying has any ultimate justification. I don't think it ever leads to anything positive. The good fight to have is not to lie. That's one of the challenges in a way.
You are defined by who you are, by your choices in life, in all regards, not just in doing movies.
I love to cook, and my wife loves to cook. Sometimes it's the appeal of the simplest of dishes - things you've grown up with in your life. Your emotional memory - something that not only affects your taste buds but that you've got an emotional attachment to.
When you commit to something, you don't want to let your fellow people and yourself down.
