thinking years car
We've all had some level of injustice, whether 20 years in prison, or 20 minutes sitting in your car waiting for a police officer to determine your future. Or even a few moments in an elevator with some woman clutching her purse thinking you're going to rob her ¾ regardless of celebrity, that has happened to me.
years research littles
Years ago, even prior to 9/11, I did a movie called "The Siege." I did a lot of research with the FBI and the CIA. And I was amazed at that time (I guess we might all know it now) how little information they shared with each other. So after that, I'm not surprised by anything.
fun years guy
My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!

I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.
years exception-to-the-rule unemployed
I and haven't been unemployed for 20 years. I'm an exception to the rule.
years interesting lasts
The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
father years long
My father was a minister for 50 years (with) Pentecostal Church of God in Christ. We prayed about everything, every day, then he always said, "Amen. God is love." I thought God is love was one word. Like "Godislove." And it took me a long time to learn what that really meant.
We just go. It's a shorthand. It's familiar.
sports
We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do.
In any profession it gets to be a grind.
work
I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.
acting family
Family is life; acting is making a living.
honor
It's not only a pleasure, but an honor for me to be here tonight.
bothers effect heard home left stuff
I've heard (the rumors). Having babies, I've left home and all this... I'm a big boy. I can take it. But what bothers me about all of that stuff is the effect on the family.
