I'm not religious, but I am spiritual. I have my own relationship with a being that I consider to be everywhere. All and everything. I don't need a church or a synagogue or a mosque. I don't need to kneel down, I don't need to stand up, I don't need to be hanging from a thread.
I love showing up and giving a performance without the benefit of a lot of rehearsal or dissection. It's fun to me to act on a kind of instinctual level and go straight for the performance.
I'm kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it's all over.
I'm continuing to do research into biker culture.
I say yes to almost anything that comes my way.
I don't think that I've had a career like anyone else's, but there are hosts and hosts of actors whose careers I admire.
I don't ever want to be comfortable with anything I'm doing.
Distortions control my self-image, like they do for a lot of us. It's irrational.
I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.
That's always been Guillermo's preference, is to have as much there practically as is humanly possible, and that digital graphic images are more a punctuation mark than they are a replacement.
I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up.
My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.
I've never worked with a tail, that I can remember. But there's so much I can't remember.
I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.
