I operate better with education and awareness, like I think all of us do.

I enjoy the process of TV; I like the pace of it; I like the continual work.

Jail was a result of me not taking time for myself. So I was forced to take some time for myself.
thinking may hollywood
This is what Hollywood tends to do. It tends to disregard tradition, history and anything factual, twisting it and turning it and making it all okay regardless of what the English may think of it
wall artist tears
It's the obvious thing to say but artists want to be able to tell all kinds of stories and tear down every kind of wall, to look at ourselves and examine who we are and just get deeper insights into what makes us human beings. Anything that could possibly prevent that in our near future horrifies me to no end.

I was always such an incredible fan of John Woo, I just wanted to do this film with him

responsibility artist opportunity
That is the responsibility of the artist, of the actor, to inhabit these roles and put on somebody else's shoes. It's the responsibility and the gift of what it is I get the opportunity to do.

There was a time when I felt I should do everything that was offered to me, you know, ride the wave

I'm blown away by the graphical detail of today's games. I can't imagine that it's going to get any better, but it's just going to continually progress and soon we'll be living in that world
perseverance integrity quality
The Kennedys have always represented a certain royal quality, Camelot, and they represent a great deal of integrity and strength and perseverance; faith in the future of America and where we could go. What a tragedy it was that the carpet was pulled out from under our feet.

Hopefully, that people could see a progression in my performances because that's how it's always felt to me.
