My dad always taught me to never be satisfied to want more and know that what is done is done.
My mother always taught me even my dad just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.
I am lucky to have had an attentive curious and loving dad and heart-smart down-to-earth gifted mother. They changed the outlooks of their own lives and have never forgotten the people and organizations that helped them dream bigger than their circumstances should have allowed.
When you're shooting a film you really don't get to be a dad and you don't really get to be a husband. You don't really exist at all. But I do drag my family with me on location whenever I can.
I've never tried to find my real parents. I'm very grateful to my mum and dad for adopting me - they're completely incredible people. It was my dad who encouraged me to question everything to forge my own path to think to read. I always felt it was my right to question everything.
I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.
I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.
My father came from a very poor background but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had a better shot at a better life.
My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.
Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that.
