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

I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.

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 loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
