You know I've been in these tabloids for years now. And at some point you just become a Zen master of it all. Most of these stories, you get probably 2 percent real fruit juice and the rest is just garbage with no nutritional value.

You just have to get one misstep - that's an easy way to fall into caricature. Bad caricature.

I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.

When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn't a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self. I had faith that I'm capable enough to handle any situation. There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and [that] I'm responsible.

'The Assassination of Jesse James' remains one of my favorite films that I've done. You know, it's still labeled a loser.

My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I'm free. I'm not looking back.

[Fatherhood] is everything.... The hardest job in the world, the most rewarding job in the world.... We put in long days. And to go home and have dinner with your kids, and have to discipline one of them who's out of line, and still have the energy for that is.... I can't explain the fulfillment of that, but it is everything.
