I like to talk to people. I've got one assistant, one Blackberry. That's my overhead. I don't text that much or email. I like to sit down face-to-face and have a conversation with you. I'm old-fashioned.
As far as I'm concerned, there's no job more important on the planet than being a mom.
I don't wanna hear nobody complain that they're getting paid all this money and people won't leave them alone. It's part of it.
I've been in enough movies to know that when you're on the set and you start shooting, you're looking at playback and you get a sense of what it's going to be like.
Well every moment, every project is different. I took a very slow approach to acting, trying to really work with people I could learn from. And I got something different out of each experience.
I want people to come see my films and enjoy them but at the end of the day you can't control what people think.
James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.
I'm the father of two boys and two girls, so I'm more an emotional wreck than a mushball.
I love being on sets with very seasoned directors as well as very new directors. Every time is a discovery process. You learn something new every time.
Being a Catholic is the most important aspect of my life.
If I can start my day out by saying my prayers and getting myself focused, then I know I'm doing the right thing. That 10 minutes helps me in every way throughout the day.
I'm always friendly and encouraging on set. I want people to be at their best creatively.
But no, I'm not political. My obligation is to pull the lever and elect somebody who's going to make life a little better for everybody, especially those who don't have as much good fortune as others.
I like to do projects I feel some connection to.
Growing up, I think I was arrested 20-odd times by the Boston police. The good news is that I've been able to use those experiences in a lot of my roles, and that has been a blessing.
I don't plan on ever letting my daughters date. I'm going to try to do everything I can to prevent it. You know, it just terrifies me. It just terrifies me.
The success of 'The Fighter' made it a lot easier to get 'Broken City' green-lit. And the buzz about 'The Fighter' also made it a lot easier to get 'Contraband' green-lit.
In my movies, I'm not trying to erase any old image of myself, really. And also I'm not trying to imitate anyone or follow in their footsteps, because I know, Burt Reynolds was just one of the people that told me this, I know how you can only last in this business if you got something special to offer, just by being yourself.
I love roles where I am required to prepare physically. And it's fun putting on weight and eating.
I've always been into working out and eating healthy. That's just who I am.
