As we were developing 'Umbral', and I was delving into the mythology and legends, I had a sudden realisation. 'Wasteland' is about people who fervently believe new myths and legends, but they turn out to be false; whereas 'Umbral' is about people who reject ancient myths and legends, but they turn out to be true!
I really reject that kind of comparison that says, Oh, he is the best. This is the second best. There is no such thing.

I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States. We have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play.
I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.

You can always hear a director saying, 'Well I don't really know what this piece is saying, so therefore, I reject it.'

I knew I would get offers to play the villain after 'Kick,' and I had already decided to reject all of them.
