The reason I love Lollapalooza is because it's a great music festival.

One of my first real parts was 'Crash' - that won the Oscar.

There are not too many times when a movie's not cynical, you know what I mean?

I want to find my own rhythm and style. That's probably the harder way to approach it, but I think it will pay off in the long run.

I've been seeing superhero movies as long as I can remember. I don't think they're going anywhere.

I remember I used to think my dad was really cool working at a factory. He used to make buttons. I used to brag, 'This button here, My dad made it.' There was this sense of pride. It's knowing your dad is doing something cool.

I want to do more sci-fi films. I want to play half-alien, half-illegal alien.

I'm living in Hollywood, and I'm making movies, but it goes beyond me. If my family is not doing very well, or even OK, you want them to be better.

I think, in any debate, you have to respect the other person's point of view, if you agree or disagree.

I was on 'The Shield' for a year before 'Crash' came out, and it was like doing an independent film every week.

I came to L.A. when I was 19, and my two roommates were blue-eyed, blond dudes. I helped coach them, and they both landed pilots.

A shootout is a shootout. You go in and get the bad guys.

The reality that everyone is stereotyped - every one gets typecast, so you have to work to get out of that.

I'm into looking at things from the other point of view. And if you look at who votes in the Oscars, mostly older Jewish guys, they're going to vote for stuff they relate to. Do they relate to NWA? I doubt it.

Every script always goes through rewrites so that everyone loves it.

Some of my favorite actors are Gene Wilder and Eddie Murphy back in the day - that's mainly what me and my brothers watched when we were kids.
