I'm not a song and dance man, so you're not going to see me on Glee anytime soon. If you want that show to continue, keep me far away from it.

I'm a single father, I don't like to be away from my son. So I'll go out, make a film and come back. Repeat. And it's worked out very well for the last 11 years.

A lot of beautiful people are stupid. There are a tremendous number of idiots who look so good. It's frightening.

When they write about real stuff like my custody battle, that's no fun. Some things have leaked out about accusations that have gone back and forth and that's just mean. It's a tactic.

My agent says that I'm a repeat business guy. If you hire me to come do a movie, I'll be on time, know all my material, be ready to go, have a good attitude. I'm here to work, so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often.

The taboo for straight actors playing gay is gone... My mother was squirming a bit in the theater because she comes from a different generation.

Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.

There are so many things about playing football that seem to me uniquely American. Anybody can succeed, anybody can play, but youve got to work hard to do it.

I grew up the son of a director and grew up on sets myself, so I was the kid getting dragged around from this set to that set and I loved it. There's something about it which is really interesting.

Some people believe God is involved in every little decision we make. Some people believe you're given the free will to make the decisions. Sometimes people believe God is not involved at all.

I love sports. Anytime I can combine sports with a film I'm a happy guy. It's such a natural fit, because sports always seems to be a metaphor for life. Always, always, always.

The thing that drives me more than anything else is being a father.

I get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I'm proud of, but I also want to make a living.

I like finishing a movie and having this living, breathing thing.

Mix one part Denzel Washington and two parts Eva Mendes and you have a nice hot cocktail.
