I'm not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It's not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship.

I really feel that's part of why audiences go to movies now is to take you to a world you have no access to, whether it's the world of Avengers or Middle-earth or bars in Boston you would be afraid to go into. You see characters there - they aren't hobbits but they're close.

There's something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.

As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want to keep having a career.

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms.

The first thing that I really understood politically and was old enough to get was the failed assassination attempt on Reagan.

One guy told me I was a great actor, I just would never be on the cover of a magazine.
