I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

At the end of whatever we're doing, I always feel like I want to go back and start over again because now I have a better sense of what it is. I feel that with everything. Like, if you're doing like a long run of a play and you're doing it seven shows a week, at the end of it, I want to go back and start from the beginning.

Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.

Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.

In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.
