The superhero aesthetic is all about the human form and showing the body, whether they be female or male.
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.
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'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?'

That first play I did in New York, Rogelio Martinez's 'When It's Cocktail Time in Cuba,' I played a young Fidel Castro.
The self-made man that some people believe is a myth? It could be, because you do it on the backs of other people.
Jessica Lange was my biggest crush when I was a kid.
