My mother gave me this book called Feature Films at Used Car Prices by a guy named Rick Schmidt. I gotta credit the guy, cuz he gave me the most practical advice. It empowers you.

My mom used to say that I became a fighter and a scrapper and a tough guy to protect who I am at my core.

I always have issues with trust. I'm a New Yorker... Really, I think trust is something that comes from the gut. And I think you have to - it's probably the worst advice to give people - but I think you gotta trust people from your gut.

You are in my good graces, but you ain't keepen your car.

The films that I do are deep, introspective, brooding roles that you're in this heavy headspace all the time.

I'm the most ambitious person you ever met.
