I always like teaser trailers because they don't give too much away, you know? They give just a flavor of what the thing is.
Cats are impossible to work with. They're just very difficult because you can't really train them. They're not really interested in whatever you want them to do. Dogs want to please you; cats only want to please themselves.
I guess 'Scarface' was the Cuban Al Pacino.
I always joked with my parents. I told them, 'If I don't make it as an actor, my fallback is musician.'
When I came up to New York to do a play, I passed by Julliard, and I was like, 'Oh I heard of this place.' I applied, and ended up getting in.
Anybody who dedicates himself to exploring the human condition, there's always a detached eye that's watching. In any situation, a little part of me is observing it, to see if there are any raw materials to create something else later.
'Cool' is detached and emotionally cool. My instinct is to battle anything that seems overly cool.
'Mojave' is a very wild, throwback film with these two dudes going after each other.
You can't try to be authentic. You either are or you aren't.
I've done movies I'm very proud of, but there's always a sense of: 'Come see this shiny new car!' The question I hate the most is: 'Why should people see it?'
I've never been much of a guitarist. I mean, I've played forever, but I was always more of a rhythm kind of guy. I don't read music.
I think that's why often people in creative fields can feel so alone is because there's a constant third eye, that constant watcher.
The idea of not getting a gun is not because I'm afraid of guns, it's not because I think guns are wrong, it's because it's impractical, it's stupid and it's exactly what they want me to do.
The superhero aesthetic is all about the human form and showing the body, whether they be female or male.
