If I'm not doing something or working on something, I literally just sit in the room and think, which I don't think is productive. I won't go outside for days.

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 feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.

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

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.

I think people are willing to take more of a risk on an indie film, about character, etc...but at the same time, when I work on projects that are substantially bigger, in a way they do feel small. Even though the catering is way better and we actually have someone shooting with real film.... The budgets are bigger but the story still feels small, like an indie film.

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