Kim Coates is my best friend. I met Coatsy in 2001 in Morocco while working on 'Black Hawk Down.'
It's not like I wake up and think, 'Oh God, I have to go to the gym.' It's just pretty much a given. I do cardio, light weights, and a good stretch, and I always try to get to the pool for at least a 15-minute swim.
The process of making an independent film is like building a mini Eiffel Tower with popsicle sticks - it doesn't happen overnight, and it's not easy.
I had a '69 Road Runner when I was a kid. I had it for 13 days, came home one day, and my parents were in the driveway. They said, 'Meet the new owner,' because they'd gotten phone calls about me burning rubber for the last 12 days. They thought I'd wrap it around a tree, and it was too much car for a 16 year old.
Oh, I'm a Mopar guy. There's no doubt about it.
Saying, 'I'm going to hang up my hat today, and I'm retiring,' it's not a concept for me, and it never has been. I figure, when I'm 81, I'll play 81-year-old parts, hopefully.
I've always loved hot rods and going to drag races.
I want to work every day. I don't work every day. When I finish something, people ask me, 'You gonna chill for a little while?' I'm like, 'No. I chill on Sunday afternoon.' I need to be engaged.
If I want to go to sleep, click on a procedural, put me right out.
I'm a huge fan of actors, and I love when people find moments and a scene works. There's nothing more that I love than to go over to another actor and say, 'Yeah! You just rocked that one, baby!'
I don't like to watch dailies or video playback unless I have to.
Producers shoot movies where the tax incentives are.
If anybody ever points out to me I'm chewing scenery, I certainly like to stop doing that.
I think that somewhere deep inside of me, I feel, if it's not something I believe in, then I probably won't be very good at it. And I have a fear of that. Not that I'm good in everything, but I try.
It's not that there aren't people who care creatively in the world of television, but there's always a bit more time in making a movie. I always feel films are more of a creative journey.
When I get home, I clean out the garage and play ball with my son. That's it.
I'm not funny ha-ha, but I look for real humour in just about everything I've ever played.
Here's the bottom line: I can't play someone if I can't figure out what he cares about. Everybody cares about something, even a rough character. It defines where we step in life. As soon as you find out what somebody cares about, then it all gets real.
I have real strong feelings about our troops and support them.
The script for 'Drive Angry' is a great read with great characters and great action.
