I Think The Work Is

Right Before I Got 'sons Of Anarchy,' I Actually Quit Acting For 18 Months And Didnt Read A Single Script, And I Wrote A Film. I Felt Like I Needed To Do Something That I Had Control Over, As An Artist, And Also Just Do Something Where I Felt Like I Had Some Control Over My Life, As Just A Human, Out In The World.

In A Work Capacity I'm Only Interested In Acting And Producing

I Watch These Actors Who When You Go To Buy A Pint Of Milk You See Them Smiling On The Cover Of 20 Magazines. Then When You See Them In A Film It's Hard To Believe The Character Because You Just See Them Everywhere

If I'd Seen A Grown Man Beating A Crippled Boy, Of Course I'd Intervene. If My Father Died And Left My Mother Destitute, It's Your Instinct To Take Care Of Her. So When I Started To Think About It In Those Terms, It Started To Make Sense To Me

I Think The Work Is Always Going To Be Much Better When It's Important And Personal To You.
