Well, I love acting, and I love acting quick.
I feel as though my criteria are based more on how challenging the role is, it doesn't have to fit into any particular profile, is it something that I've never done before, and is it something that I feel like I can really feel challenged and therefore fully engaged in, and that's when the work gets to be the most fun.
I don't think anything is ever going to replace the human heart and what that generates in terms of performance.
It's really disgusting what Hollywood can do to a guy.
I've had biker clubs reach out to me whenever they knew I was in their city.
I'm not a social rider. Strictly professional.
The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.
The only way to grab the attention of the audience is originality. We feed ourselves with franchises that's the opposite of what makes our culture multidimensional and interesting.
"Striking looking." That's a euphemism if I ever heard one.
Guys who are larger than life and theatrical and deliciously unpredictable - they're far more interesting than the good guys most of the time. They have these psychological layers that an audience can really cling on to, become fascinated with, much more so than these true-blue, one-dimensional, square-jawed good guys.
Cinema to me is like a religion. If I was going to have a religion it would be cinema.
I've always wanted to have my own studio because this is a way for me to finally take all things that I've always dreamt about and actually put them into action.
Look at the people who are coming to television Ridley Scott, Ang Lee or Guillermo del Toro - all these great filmmakers - actively put themselves back into TV. That's because the environment is very encouraging for bold storytelling, storytelling that you've never seen before.
You start talking about God and a lot of people are going to become very defensive.
