“She and I had come close to working on two other films together prior to this one that unfortunately had fallen apart for various reasons.”

There’s no gray area in law enforcement. Evil exists in the world and it must be dealt with. And those on the side of good can feel righteous in their approach to eliminating evil. There’s no ambiguity there.

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.

I wasn’t terribly aware of Catwoman. She was a DC comics character and as a kid, I wasn’t terribly fond of the DC comics characters. I was a Marvel boy.

I believe there’s a huge distinction between un macho and a real man. I don’t think you have to be one to be another.

I’ve made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you’re bored. The boredom will show in your work.

As an audience member, I like watching Rupert as an actor when he’s most playful. I think Rupert is really adept at comedy; I think that’s where his strength lies.

So there was an inherent challenge in trying to keep it fresh, because it’s something that I’m familiar with, but the real draw for me was at long last to work with Halle.

I count it as a major victory to not only be on a series that’s had a full season run, but to actually be on one that’s gotten picked up for a second season.

I come from a large family so you can count on the fact that I’m going to have more kids.

Part of my aspiration as a film actor is to bring subtlety to everything I do – honesty but subtlety.

I’ve been in scenarios as an actor where you have to manufacture an emotion that’s not really there, but it wasn’t hard with Halle because she’s a great person and very beautiful, so it ain’t a tough job at the end of the day.

No matter what your native tongue is, no matter what part of the world you’re from, if your native tongue is distorted with an accent, somehow that’s always funny.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don’t get to do in real life.

As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I’m not working, you’d better spend that time with someone important.

I think all actors are on the constant search for a real challenge just to keep things interesting.

My sense of personal strength has always come from my family.

If I fall, I fall. I’ll rise up like anybody else.

The complete bottom has fallen out of my life.

Well, once you’ve been in the Canyon and once you’ve sort of fallen in love with it, it never ends…it’s always been a fascinating place to me, in fact I’ve often said that if I ever had a mistress it would be the Grand Canyon.

From the fallen tree everybody makes firewood.

All this time i’ve hated myself for it. I thought i’d given it up for nothing. But if i hadn’t fallen, i wouldn’t have met you.

But if i hadn’t fallen, i wouldn’t have met you.

With a novelist, like a surgeon, you have to get a feeling that you’ve fallen into good hands – someone from whom you can accept the anesthetic with confidence.

I love technology – yes, I have fallen in love with older cars, but I’m all for new technology.
