I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.
If I had more recreation time I would be able to step back and reflect on how life has changed. But it has been like a constant... boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.
I didn't know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be.

My family's lineage is five generations of artists who never made it.
My life is okay, my life is pretty good.
My parents are retired, basically.
None of my friends were ever as broke as I was.
The big thing for actors is the level of commitment.
I love doing stuff that I haven't done before. That's the goal: To keep reinventing myself.
The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time.
We're living through the twilight of American economic dominance.
