“It’s nice to know when you’re a part of a story, it’s nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.”

Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.

But a lot of shows, they pose questions and they give you a puzzle where there’s no solution.

People love roller coasters. People love skydiving. These things that really get your heart pumping, and horror films are sort of a safe way to get that rush I guess.

My life has been the antithesis of that book ‘The Secret’. I’ve always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too.

The best compliment was Ben Kingsley coming up to me, putting his hand on the back of my neck, and saying, “Good job, son.”.

People have always liked to be frightened. People love to feel that jolt of adrenaline.

I consider myself a blue-collar actor, just chugging away.

Actors, we like stories, we like storytelling, we love being a part of the story, and if you give us a story that’s interesting then we’ll want to do it.

I do know that I’ve read somewhere that it’s been statistically proven that in times of war, horror films are much more popular. I don’t know why that is. You’d think it’d be the opposite. You’d think people would want to escape from it.

Of course, I’m not allowed to talk about the script, but I can say it is a really good story.

I didn’t follow the whole ‘X-Men’ story because it got too complicated. I’d pick up a comic book and have no idea what was going on.

I’ve been recognized very seldom. I think I just look different in person than I do as the character.

You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I’m not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can’t come back.

You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I’m the worst one.

It is only the ending of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism and neocolonialism and the attainment of world communism that can provide the conditions under which the RACE question can finally be abolished and eliminated.

Your power ends where your fear begins.

Were a man’s sorrows and disquietudes summed up at the end of his life.

Since it is the practice of enlightenment, that practice has no beginning and since it is enlightenment within the practice, that realization has no end.

The time has come to put an end to the fratricidal war and to recover at last peace and accord.

He is not famous. It may be that he never will be. It may be that when his life at last comes to an end he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves on the surface of the water.

Think positive girl, or the world ends.

Reparations would mean the end of scarfing hot dogs on the Fourth of July while denying the facts of our heritage.
