The only thing I know that makes me feel comfortable is to know as much as I can. Not like what the shots are going to be, but knowing enough about my character that I can forget those things. And more specifically, my lines. I have to know my lines. I have to know something really well, so I can forget it when we're doing it. And there is comfort in knowing, "Okay, there's not another stone that I could have overturned."

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

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.

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

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.

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

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