I had the opportunity to learn more about what life is like for a soldier [in The Yellow Birds].

You need those people to also have power and authority, and in a way that has been the story of my career.

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

Woody Allen is kind of the one example I don't have. Because the way he works and the amount of shooting time that I did on that film, I didn't really get to know him, so he kind of stays as "Woody Allen" to me.

Let's say [Warren Beatty] wants you to speak louder in a scene. He won't stop playing the role and say to you as a director, "Will you speak louder on the next take?" He'll say it as Howard Hughes: "I can't totally hear you. Why don't you speak up a little bit?" To kind of keep this rhythm going.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

Warren [Beatty] loves to talk about his experiences with [Elia] Kazan.
