I want to play Martin Luther King. I want to tell the real story, his demons, his struggles as a man, not just as a hero but fallible, I want to show that side.

I try to carve my own way so the actors who come after me will say, "I want to do it like Columbus did it."

With films, you completely immerse yourself in a character, get into who they are, live it and then release it.

The point of acting is to hide yourself and get lost in character. To play the same character in eighteen movies would be defeating the purpose I believe so I try to keep a little bit of diversity.

I'm a silly guy, I love wit and cynicism and sarcasm.

I don't want to do action that doesn't mean anything. Everything I do I want to have character development and three-dimensional characters, fallible humans, and this is definitely one of them.

My wonder button is being pushed all the time.

With acting, you might have a month of very intense work, but youve got a lot of downtime as well.

It doesn't bother me because I can tell everyone to kiss off.

If we can return to a government that the Founders, in their wisdom, envisioned for us, we can return to a government that will allow our economy to thrive again, and our people to live in liberty.

Let the wealthier countries and corporations of the world fund an Emergency Organization.

Death: Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know, that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom.

A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless.
