I Think It's Still Hard For Me

It Was Shameful And Embarrassing That There Were Two Years In A Row Without A Single Actor Of Color Nominated. That's Insane.

Now That I Have Kids, I'm Probably More Overprotective Than I've Ever Been. My Wife's Nickname For Me Is "red Alert." I Sometimes Check Just To See If The Kids Are Breathing. But I Try Not To Be A Helicopter Parent.

I Didn't Grow Up With Great Privilege, Nor Did I Grow Up Wanting For Anything. I Was A Middle-class Kid And, Relative To The Rest Of The World, That's Great Wealth.

As For Poker, I've Stayed Away From That, Even Though When I Was In Vegas For Ocean's Eleven, I Would Get Accosted By These Guys Begging Me To Play. They Just Want To Take My Money. They See Me, Think 'actor' And See Some Easy Money.

Most Films And Directors Lose Their Nerve And Want To Indicate [emotions] A Bit More, To Show That Their Story Is Clear. I'm Not Saying That's A Good Thing; As An Actor Its Anathema To Good Acting, But To Have Someone With The Confidence To Say That Should I Be Utterly Natural And Minimalist Is Great.
