Quotes

• "My research on Microchip gives you kind of different aspects of him: I didn't know which Micro Chip we were talking about. Are we talking about the one who uses the heroin trade to supply his weaponry, or are we talking about the father of Louis? So I had to kind of make an amalgam for me, of who he was, within the context of this film, within the context of the kind of Max universe that we were doing the Punisher in. I saw him as being kind of being the supply sergeant for Frank's one man army. That somebody who keeps it moving and tries to keep Frank sane and connected somehow to the earth. That's basically my task"
• "You know, I think that pretty much comes with me whether I want it to or not. So I think that Micro Chip is kind of like the grave digger in Hamlet. You need to have leavening in order to feel the impact of the violence and the drama that's happening. So every now and then you come up for a little breath of air and then you dive back in. That's kind of what Micro Chip does."
