A lot of actors, we aren't that special; you get a well-written scene, and it's virtually actor-proof.
I hate to tell you, but racism is alive and well in a lot of parts of the world.
I think that always, as an actor, I don't want to overstep or pretend that I'm doing anything more than I'm doing.
I've taken a milk-art class; I can put a heart on top of the cappuccino. I'm very proud of that.
If you're at a restaurant and someone asks, 'Fresh pepper?,' the answer is yes. When people shake off the fresh pepper, they clearly have no interest in living a full life. Same thing goes for grated Parmesan. Why would you turn that down?
Directing? It's an appealing thought, but as far as I can tell, it's a lot of work. Producing is easier. You can tell someone else what to do and then go home.
At the end of the day, the job is to tell the story that you promised to tell and do it in the most entertaining and perhaps surprising way you can think of.
There's so many great Western films. Let's see, 'Red River,' any of those Henry Fonda movies are fantastic. Any of those John Ford movies are fantastic. I love all the Eastwood 'Man With No Name' movies, John Wayne, 'True Grit.'
I'd like to think I'm a little more easygoing than the character on 'Deadwood,' without question.
I don't get recognized that much. That's the best part of it. I tend to get things like, 'You sound a lot like that guy on 'Deadwood.' And that's lovely. I've been very fortunate. No giggling, screaming girls. None of that.
I had a Dan Fouts Nike poster with 'The Bomb Squad' on my wall as a kid. I was also a huge Larry Bird fan. One of my proudest art achievements is a papier-mache eagle decked out head-to-toe in Celtics gear.
It's fun when your kids reach a point where you can actually start talking about things.
My survival skills are very good for Hollywood. Beyond that, I'm not really sure.
