“What kind of woman am I attracted to? Really? Can I just say I like what most human beings want?”

“We come from fallible parents who were kids once, who decided to have kids and who had to learn how to be parents. Faults are made and damage is done, whether it's conscious or not. Everyone's got their own 'stuff,' their own issues, and their own anger at Mom and Dad. That is what family is. Family is almost naturally dysfunctional.”

“I'm enjoying the aging process and the gray hair and the wrinkles.”

“I have a romantic vision of the beautiful delineation between TV and film that existed for so many years. I romanticize the studio system and movie stars as a whole, but obviously that's just anachronistic and probably a non-reality.”

“I cry all the time - at work, at the shrink's, with my lady. 'The Notebook' killed me. 'Up' destroyed me.”

“I like kind of natural, woodsy earth tones. I like patchouli. I like tobacco. I like sandalwood. I like tree resin. I'm not a huge fan of citrus - I like things that are kind of moodier and... more deeper base notes.”

“'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.”

“The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.”

“I find the ritual of shaving very relaxing, but for every day, it's pretty irritating on my skin, so I like having the definition a beard gives.”

“What am I going to tweet about? My sneakers? Or, 'I have 140,000 friends on Facebook.' What does that even mean? I find it to be a waste of time.”

“I never really thought about myself being in really big movies at all. In fact, I always though I'd do, I don't know, smaller movies is not quite the right word, but more character-oriented, dramatic things. I took myself a little bit seriously.”

“When you feel like an oddball, it never really leaves you. Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves - the misfits.”

“I have such awful skin; it doesn't matter what magic serum they think they're putting on - I'll usually break out.”

“Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.”

“Usually, I like stuff kind of fitted, but I'm getting more and more into this comfort, this melding of comfort and style rather than looking like you've tried to shove yourself into some sort of sausage casing.”

“In high school, I once sang 'Let's Get It On' and 'Brown Sugar' with a band that included my English teacher and my math teacher.”

“Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.”

“I don't think there's anything better than talk therapy.”

“I think the great thing about the Jack Ryan films is that the plot and the story always take center stage. If you've done your job as the actor portraying Jack Ryan, you are present enough to make an impact, but you let the story shine.”

“On red carpets, as people throw questions at you, you try and answer as quickly as possible.”
