The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people's lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.

I used to eat a whole chicken every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It’s a mess.

I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.

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.

I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.

Yeah, September 11 happened and all my friends were like, 'Let's join the military!' and I was the only one who actually did.

I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.
