It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.

If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.

To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.

To stand there and do nothing on film is probably the hardest thing to do.

I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors - has a wonderful sense of character and depth and uniqueness to him, yet he's able to just deliver the lines without putting any English on it.

Some of the supporting roles that I've done as an actor, I took them because I knew that I would get to watch some of the leading guys in the movies, and also I'd get to work with them.

My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.

I can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.
