My whole concept in life is if you're not using it, you should give it to somebody else so they can use it.

Yet there's a hunger in me still. I'm like only beginning. I feel like I still have so much to learn.

I love the idea of longevity in this career. But [producing] is not about, "Let me do this because this might happen 20 years down the line." Sleepwalking wasn't a vehicle for me, it was a film that pushed the ­envelope. I want to produce good stories, versus creating a niche where I can look after myself as an actor.

I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."

I think more than anything, people just want to be understood.

I don't really talk about my personal life and I don't really talk about my relationships. I'm not a big partier. I like the simplicity of my life, and I've chosen the kind of life I really want to live. I don't think my life is boring at all.

They really stay just characters to me. I look at them, and I don't see always the same person up there. And hopefully, people will see that too. Because it's very easy to bore people, and that's a killer. So hopefully that won't happen.
