The actors in 'Eight Men Out' really know how to play, and the background athletes are all professionals.

I like hanging around the set and learning how people do things, how the set runs.

I got typecast early in my career as the guy who is very intense. Once you get into a certain mold, people see you that way, as much as it's disproved time and again.

I have never been one of those actors who say, 'Oh, my character wouldn't do this,' or 'My character never wears an orange shirt,' or any of the number of inane things I've heard on movie sets throughout my career.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

Being afraid to tell the truth because of the projected consequences, whatever it may be, shows a lack of faith and an abundance of fear.

I certainly do not support excluding faith from public life.

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.
