Sadly, in this country - maybe this is in the history of the world, really - it's the urban experience versus the bucolic experience. And it is different, but therein lies the slow progression of democracy. We are a melting pot.

When you get the call from Quentin Tarantino, it's the call of a lifetime. You don't allow yourself to be vulnerable enough or to be fool enough to expect that phone call to happen, in reality.

Tarantino and Jackson is like Scorsese and DeNiro, and their silent communication.

We want to see ourselves reflected in our heroes. Unfortunately most of us don't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I really enjoy what I do, and I'm very grateful to be given an opportunity to do it. That's one thing that people can say about me.

Unfortunately, when you're the king of the hill, there's really only one way to go, and that's down.

I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.
