In Politics There Are So Many Holes,

I Think The Reason I've Survived That Long Is Because I've Taken My Work So Seriously. Maybe Sometimes Too Seriously, But It's Always Been Important For Me To Do My Best Regardless Of The Film. I Think The Biggest Compliment I Get Is When People On The Street Stop Me And Say They've Liked The Choices I've Made.

It's Really Nice To Be Able To Do Something That You've Never Done. I Think That's The Gift Of Being An Actor Because I Get To Play A Cop, A Racist Cop And I've Never Done That Before. It's Nice To Inhabit These Other Worlds Especially When You Get To Work With Great Actors.

The Great, Rewarding Thing About Directing Is That You're Overseeing The Whole Thing. When You're An Actor, You're Just One Department.

I Like Conflict, Drama's Conflict And If You Don't Have That In The Character It's Really Not A Worthwhile Role To Play For Me.

It's Tough When You Started Out As Young As I Did To Look Back And See How Far I've Come. I Try To Be Easy On Myself And Go 'look Man, You Were Younger, You Were Learning; You Learn, You Grow.' But I'm Not My Best Judge. I Always Feel Like My Best Work Is Still Ahead Of Me.
