“You hear stories of intense actors who can't shed their character and who don't know who they are for a week or two after. I'm not that guy, man.”
“I'm a bit of a loner, you know? I'm more quiet by nature. And coming from, you know, hillbilly country, I'm probably more reserved.”
“In some ways, I'm still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma, and I'm trying to find my way.”
“I certainly feel injustice. I'm no foreigner to that, whether it's real or perceived.”
“Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.”
“I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it's up to me.”
“To be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous.”
“I'm sure they're saddened by me, and I get frustrated with them. But I love them, and at the end of the day if they need me or if they need anything, I'm there for them. Family.”
“I feel like I have to share whatever I can. You're culpable if you don't act.”
“Listen, I've been pretty fortunate. And if I've been underrated, it's actually been something I've been able to work with; I can surprise people. It sets me up to exceed expectations, so I don't mind.”
“I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.”
“I would say that the directors that I've liked the most are all curious in nature - curious thinkers. They're all big questioners, I would say, first and foremost.”
“I was so intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself.”
“I'm actually very snobbish about directors. I have to say 'no' all the time. 'No' is the most powerful word in our business. You've got to protect yourself.”
“So much of making movies is about discovery on the day, what you're figuring out. If you know everything going in, then it's not worth doing - it's already done.”
“I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It's the truth.”
“I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination.”
“I tell all the young guys, don't make choices because somebody else is telling you it's good from a career-maintenance perspective.”
“How many stories have you read that aren't true, stories about me and Angie being married or fighting or splitting up? And when we don't split up, there's a whole new round that we've made up and we're back together again!”
“I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.”
