I Don't Make Any Pretense About Being

I Can Safely Say That No One Who Has Ever Won An Oscar Didn't Want To Win An Oscar.

It's The Persona That Makes You A Leading Actor. A Leading Actor Has Something Extra That's Fun To Watch. But It Isn't Usually About Acting.

Life Is Precious, And When Someone Dies It's An Opportunity To Realise How Precious It Is. My Brother Drowned When I Was 17. He Was 15. I Think I Grew From That. My Father Didn't. It Really Crushed Him.

I Respect People Who Can Do Both Careers, Like Will Smith And A Couple Of Other People Who Have Done It, But I Just Don't Know When They Sleep.

I Was Looking For Projects, As You Always Are, And I Read This Scene . . . And I'm In The Hollywood Hills. So I Thought, 'this Is Interesting.' You Have This Setup That Seems To Be Based In Some Reality And You Can Only Wonder Where Black's Going To Go With This.
