We Can't Afford To Deny Our Past

I'm Very Aware That People Find My Wife And I's Marriage Disagreeable. But All I Have To Do Is Look At My Four Kids, And The Love I Have In My Heart For My Wife After 18 Years Of Marriage, And The Ugliness Does Fade.

We're Not Served By Only Knowing Our Finest Hours Through Film Or Media, Or In The History That We Are Taught. I Think The Only Way We Have A Chance To Not Make The Same Mistakes Again, Is To Historically Understand The Bad Behavior And Mistakes We've Made Previously.

That's What's So Satisfying About Acting. You Can Come As Prepared As You Like, But There's No Accounting For What's Going To Come At You From The Other Actor. That's Part Of The Joy And The Play Of It. If You Don't Have That It's A Different Kind Of Performance.

I Basically Enjoy Doing Films That Are About Something, That Have Complex Roles That I Can Sink My Teeth Into. Basically, I Gravitate To Things That Scare Me. They Might Be Things That I Don't Think I Know How To Play. I Like Trying To Find Within Me Where This Character May Exist. Whether Is It Is A Fictional Character Or Not I Am Not Motivated By That. It Is More About How Challenging It Is. It Is Just So Happens That The More High Profile Things I Have Done Have Been Historical Characters.

I Truly Believe That One Of The Things That Has Been Lacking In America Is A Spirit Of Repentance About The Injustices Of Slavery And The Injustices Of Segregation And Racism Generally. I Truly Believe That We Cannot Come To A Place Of Reconciliation Until There Is Individual Repentance And Corporate Repentance.
