He adds that life is all about taking chances. “Get outside your box. The world has changed. It allows you to do more things. We are more connected with each other. Go out there and make it happen,” he says. “You’ve got to step out and take a chance, and if you can make it work, it goes a long way.”

The Oscar-winning actor also reveals that his eyes are on the director’s chair.

“I don’t want to die and not have all of the ideas that I want to do out,” he explains. “[Quentin Tarantino] taught me how to shoot, how to take my time shooting with one camera, how to make it lean. I learned a lot.”

He concludes, “Sometimes you’ve got to let actors go and not try to micromanage every little thing, because you miss stuff.”
