I think I'm drawn to more villain-type characters because it's so cool to get to say all the things you want to say. In Hollywood you get to this position where you have to bite your tongue so much. You take all your experiences of not being able to say what you really want to say and channel that through your character.

I would like to do a musical if I could find a cool one. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play.

That is who Barack Obama is - a person of admirable character - and that is who he has remained for me over these last four years. I have not agreed with his every decision but never once have I seen him break his cool lose his composure or abandon his insightful perspective - even during the most serious and/or absurd national disasters.

I'm a video game fan and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.

I'm a geeky toy collector and to have toys of your own characters is unbelievably cool.

A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance... And yet we all know that life experiences do change us.
