In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare
I think drug movies free the director to make intense films
I really believe that you never stop learning.
It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.
Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money... I used to love traveling on the trains from town to town. The hotels... brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!
You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.
I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.
I think people like watching edgy things.
You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
You're always - you're constantly learning things if you're the type of person who stays open and current.
So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.
I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
If you start acting and you start thinking about and worrying about what other people are going to say about it, you'll never really fully commit to who it is and what it is that you're playing.
