Where do I get my seriousness? You can’t help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she’s making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.
I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. ‘If there’s no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.’ That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.
Every time I make a “Mission” movie or other films, people kind of look at me and go, “Well, now what? What’s next?” I think there’s always going to be another mountain. I think there’s something always in store.
