I've tried to let the work I do speak.
He didn't hardly ever wear a hat around here,
There's a different kind of satisfaction in helping a director achieve, you know, something like The Green Mile, which I thought was pretty terrific.
I'm very involved in the family's daily life. I drive the kids to school. I do father-son overnights. I do all the cooking when I'm home.
Home wasn't a pleasant place to live, growing up.
Juries will put the evidence in the context that is deserved, ... As a rule, I have confidence in the intelligence and wisdom of the jury.
I have a DVD player and I have DVDs, and I have no time to watch any of them.
I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.
In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.
I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.
In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.
You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.
I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.
