"A fence can be protective around your family - a familial fence. Then, there are the people who only know how to take, to abuse, to offend and they build fences to keep you out. They don't have time to talk, they don't have kind words, they only talk about themselves. They never give an olive branch or forgiveness - they create a fence because of their personality or behavior and they want to create a barrier to keep people out."
"As an actor, we spend so much putting the mask on and trying to be someone you're not."

"At the end of the day, you have to find the humanity in you in each character."
"The thing is, about a character, it's not about being right, it's about the truth. The truth comes from within, so you have to search as an artist for the truth."
"I mean, of course, I love sci-fi and stuff like that, but I'm not, like, a comic book crazy guy."
"In a lot of work places, you work at a lot of jobs and people work more with their colleagues than with their family."
"Some people build fences to keep people out and we also do things everyday to keep people close - when we play ball and go fishing with our kids, we are doing it to keep them close and fenced in. That's how relationships are built positively - we're using fences to tell people that we love them."
