It [Hancock] happens to be a big budget film and big star like Will Smith, but it actually has a lot of weight to it. But it was very smart and very intelligent and had this kind of historical element to it that I was fascinated by. It's not silly. It's not stupid. It's fun, but I think it's smart. I think Akiva [Goldsman] writes really interesting material and there you have it.

You can live vicariously through the characters you play.

The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.

There's always been a celebration of what is that moment, whoever I am at that moment in my life. [It] is a very real way of looking at beauty.

My job as an actor, and the part of my job that I love is the transforming-and-becoming aspect of it, and so it doesn't become about me anymore.

I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing, and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.

I havent lost my culture, just my accent.
