I was working with real artists [in the Rum Diary], and that's difficult to do and very rare, in this industry, ironically.

[The Rum Diary] is a prestigious movie and it's got a great, talented cast, so they wanted to make sure they had the right person for the role, but it was a torturous process. It was painful.

Trying to film a movie on a diet is hard enough, I can't imagine how it would be on drugs.

For the most part I pick movies based on the merit of the script, and the merit of the script only.

For as long as I can remember, I've been the kind of person who goes against the grain and questions authority, and that doesn't make for an ideal religious follower.

I don't shoot anything. I could never kill an animal. My dad does all the hunting, and he eats everything that he kills.

You have to do something else by 30 years old, if you haven't found another way to explore your own identity and make something of it.
