happened love moment sharing
When they said my name, I said, 'There is no way I can go up here without sharing it with Rubin,' ... Everything that has happened with this film and this moment is about the love that has come from him.
audience few mother sat
I actually sat out in the audience a few times with my mother.
bit felt goes good liked playing practice reason shakespeare streets
Part of the reason I liked the idea of doing the film was that it was very wordy. I was getting good practice playing Brutus. So 'Inside Man' felt a bit like Shakespeare goes to the streets or something.
sure
We're not sure yet who will play my father,
sports
We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do.
We just go. It's a shorthand. It's familiar.
acting family
Family is life; acting is making a living.
work
I'm not in the loop; I don't know any actors, really, just the ones I work with.
In any profession it gets to be a grind.
break
You can’t break me because you didn’t make me.
impact important example
So you never know who you touch. You never know how or when you'll have an impact, or how important your example can be to someone else" (20).
waiting actors roles
That's what I tell young actors. "You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role."
jobs stars giving
I'm not a big Hollywood star. I'm an actor. I'm called a star. That's not what I am. First of all I'm a human being; my profession is acting. People give you titles. They say you're an up and coming star, then they say you're a star, then they say you're a washed-up star. So I don't get caught up in what I'm called. My job, my profession, is acting.
christian men spirituality
Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: "My god is right, yours is wrong." Religion to me is the human condition. "If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian." That to me is religion.
