And I Just Want To Work With

Right Before I Got 'sons Of Anarchy,' I Actually Quit Acting For 18 Months And Didnt Read A Single Script, And I Wrote A Film. I Felt Like I Needed To Do Something That I Had Control Over, As An Artist, And Also Just Do Something Where I Felt Like I Had Some Control Over My Life, As Just A Human, Out In The World.

I Have Too Many Control Issues, So It Just Is Not Good For Me To Go And Watch A Film, Too Soon After I Make It.

If I'd Seen A Grown Man Beating A Crippled Boy, Of Course I'd Intervene. If My Father Died And Left My Mother Destitute, It's Your Instinct To Take Care Of Her. So When I Started To Think About It In Those Terms, It Started To Make Sense To Me

I Was Playing Pretty Boys And These Angelic Roles Like Nicholas Nickleby And All That Stuff. And I Was Like, 'what Am I Doing? This Isn't Who I Am, As A Man Or An Artist.' I Had To Overcome People's Belief That I Was Too Pretty To Be A Badass.
