It was fortunate for all of us to have Joaquin Jackson, who is a very renowned Texas Ranger, on board. He spent quite a few days with us on set and he added a lot to it for me on what it's like to be a Texas Ranger.
Your part can be the king, but unless people are treating you like royalty, you ain't no king, man.
I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.
I hate it when there's a good movie, someone overhypes it and I'm disappointed that I don't like it more.
I've done quite a few movies, I generally can feel that I'm not right for the role or a general fear if I can pull it off, and him giving that "tag" so to speak gave me the confidence. Like that Miles Davis line, "Don't worry about mistakes, there aren't any." Once you are the part, you're the guy, so you can't not be the guy because you're it.
I have hesitation making any kind of decision, really in my life. I'm really slow at it.
You know, I thought we could use a good myth about technology to help guide us through these particular modern waters right now.
I'm a chairperson for 'No Kid Hungry', a campaign for poor American children.
Seeing David Mackenzie's work in "Starred Up," I thought that was a wonderful film.
My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.
Movies are very subjective.
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.
My mom wasn't a movie star.
My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.
