I think we all have a lot of darkness in our bellies. As an actor, the challenge of tapping into that, reaching down into that sadness or anger, is very therapeutic. ↗

A good director creates an environment, which gives the actor the encouragement to fly. ↗

As I was coming up on the stage, there was one source that could make or break you, the New York Times. Inevitably there would be one actor singled out for a better review, or worse, than somebody else. The effect of that was cancerous, divisive. ↗

Gary Oldman is impossible to steal a movie from. He's such a great actor, he's off the hook. I love him. ↗

I didn't get into this so I could talk about my work, my movies. You become an actor to act. ↗

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me. ↗

I just let the work speak for itself. An actor is not afraid to take risks; to put on different hats; to be a good guy, a bad guy, a victim, an abuser. There are all kinds of people in the world, and playing them is what acting is all about. ↗

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music. ↗

If I'm in a situation where someone doesn't recognize me and treats me like everyone else, I'm not used to it. ↗
