So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

I really believe that you never stop learning.

I'm not a proponent of people watching a movie, and then going out and doing something bad. People have been doing bad things, well before movies.

I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.

I didn't like some of the movies that were coming into me

I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.

You're always - you're constantly learning things if you're the type of person who stays open and current.

Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.

I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

So, you need to balance it out with bigger and smaller movies.

...stories want to be told. Stories have a power of their own ... you can't write a story until you've felt it. Breathed it in. Walked with your characters. Talked with them.

Nothing else in the whole wide world matters as much as avenging your sister.

To what extent is any given man morally responsible for any given act? We do not know

Hey, we've all been to high school We've seen the in-crowds. Most of us have been in the outer crowds, the people who weren't in. Although I was never in, I was selling records and was very happy.

Take my verses too serious ya hate me, cause I'm the one to paint a vivid picture, no HD.

Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.

Because a child of one doubles its age after the passage of a single year, it can be said to be aging rapidly.

I'd have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe - and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it.

I don't tell everything. I want the reader to have the feeling that maybe they know the whole truth, but they don't.

When the melody touches your heart emotionally and the words hit your brain intellectually, more than likely you'll find you'll have an excellent song to sing.
