You know, I used to be made fun of as a kid for being really articulate; it was sort of like a strange thing.

I'm a huge Wong Kar-Wai fan.

I always think a good sports movie is emblematic in the same way that a great Greek tragedy really has a certain kind of structure, or a Shakespearean play if you're looking at a comedy or a tragedy, is that these are the heights and depths of human emotion.

I always wanted to be one of those people who were good at many, many things, but from a very early age, I fell in love with acting.

I think you always have to go as an artist with instinct, I really do.

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

I don't have a favorite genre. I mean, I always sort of base it on instinct. And it does seem to be that after I finish something that is very dramatic, I end up inevitably wanting to do a comedy or something like that.
