To me, being a gangster was better than being president of the United States.
I'm a big believer that the script is your bible.
The script - and a good one - tells you everything that you need to know.
I just know what it's like being an East Coast person, being from New Jersey.
I'm amused by a lot of things. I love humor. I'm constantly joking around.
I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.
Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.
There's a personal side to me of challenges as an actor that I like to take on myself.
A stare is really nothing more than what you're thinking inside.
I think that if you can achieve a balance, then you appease a lot of yourself and your career and what it takes to maintain in this business for a while
I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me
I do certain things that, maybe, nobody else knows why I'm doing. But it's all - it all has to do with - to grow as an actor.
I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn't crazy with some of the scripts I was getting - this was before Blow and Hannibal - so I decided to start my own production company
In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare
