Being Able To Work With Ridley Scott

I Come From An Era, In My World, Where You Just Had To Define Yourself As Who You Are And What You Do. I Happen To Be An Actor. I Happen To Be Someone That Loves To Act, That Also Likes Music, That Also Likes To Speak, And That Also Has An Opinion.

Every Leading Lady I Work With, I'll See If I Can Get A Song Out Of Them And Put It On An Album.

When I Look At My Body Of Work, I've Played A Lot Of Characters Who Are Morally Conflicted - 'i'm Right, No I'm Wrong, I Don't Know What To Do!' I Want To Play More Characters Who Don't Care As Much, And Who Aren't As Measured. They Are What They Are, No Apologies.

There Are Things That I Really Find Important, And That We Need To Remind Ourselves Of. When You Think About Disability, Do You Really Think About It? Someone Who's A Full-time Trainer Or A Boxer, Someone Who's Got A Major Disability, But Who Doesn't Let That Get In His Way, That's A Really Good Message For Someone Who Is Able-bodied. It Can Make Them Think, 'wow, I Suppose I Could Be Doing Better For Myself.'
