Well, I was a drama kid.

As a matter of fact, I am an uncle. I have nine nephews and nieces. I'm not sure if they think I'm all that quick with a quip. But I'm quick with a spank.

Actors like to play bad guys because they're more fun. They also win more awards.

You know, I'm from the Midwest, man - that shapes my personality much more than having gone to Harvard.

Investment banks started recruiting at Harvard back in the day, and they'd fly me down to New York City and I was so poor so I would take advantage of the free flight, the per diem, the hotel. And then I would go audition for stuff.

I never had a month or so go by where I haven't had a job, but you always worry that someone will turn off the tap.

I play DEA, CIA, FBI, LAPD I got 'em all.

You go into any doughnut shop and look at three cops having coffee, I guarantee I look like one of them.

Look, we're in the time of the anti-hero.

I think actors who take things too far are funny.

When my kids started preschool, the teachers had to take away all the fake bananas because all the boys would pick them up and pretend that they were guns. Boys find sticks to play swords and anything that looks like a gun to shoot. It's just inside of them. It's who they are.

The way I look at it, I'm a guy who acts to live.
