“Fame was initially this kind of blunt tool that was thrust into my hands very young.”
“I get bored with the same old film coming out every weekend. It feels like it's the same story all the time, and the same visuals, and the characters' dilemmas are remarkably similar.”
“I like movies about people and movies with characters; that's what I'm drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.”
“You know, honestly, acting in film is remarkably independent. You're doing your thing and someone else is doing their thing.”
“I have a pretty easy life.”
“My interests are guitars, cars, and vacation. I've been playing guitar all my life. My dad was a professional guitarist, but I'm terrible, which lets me off the hook, so I just play for myself.”
“I'm not really a tourist attraction kind of guy.”
“I'm always trying to find something unique or a project that I can do something unique in. When the director has a vision for a piece that I've never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they're trying to create.”
“Everybody was trying to put me in action movies and heroic roles, and I wanted to find more complex things. They just didn't suit my taste, so I thought, 'OK, I have to be brave enough to say no.' And for a while, that hurt me immeasurably in the Hollywood world.”
“I don't like to act in my personal life. I like to be straightforward.”
“I don't love L.A. I love New York and Minneapolis, so if I have a choice I'll stay in those places.”
“You know what? I'm really attracted to British women, there's something innately proper about them. However badly they behave their accent is so cute that it makes up for everything!”
“I became popular very young. I viewed myself as just a young actor trying to figure out how to do well, and, you know, making mistakes and learning and growing.”
“I'm not all that demanding, I don't think. My family might think otherwise.”
