My Parents Were Both Actors My Dad

I Did Some Martial Arts Training For 'confessions Of A Dangerous Mind,' Since The Character Was An Assassin.

My Parents Were Both Actors My Dad Sort Of Quite Early On. My Mother Acted For A While, And Now She's A Painter.

In Theatre You Can't Ad Lib, So You Want To Pick Really Good Material, Like David Mamet Or Shakespeare Or Whatever. You Want To Be Really Careful About What You Do. But In The Movies, You Do Have More Wiggle-room. You Do Have More Opportunities To Improvise. It's Fun To Improvise, But I Still Think It's Better To Have A Great Script.

I Was Certainly Naïve About The Judicial System In America. There's A Lot Of People Who Are In Prison Who Are Innocent. The System Is Very Flawed.

I Remember Being Very Influenced By 'taxi Driver', And Also Tommy Lee Jones In 'coal Miner's Daughter' A Little Bit.
