Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves, the misfits.

Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.

When I was 18 I was an emotional wreck and I couldn't imagine having to deal with some kind of fame.

Women think that men don't talk about their feelings with guys. We do talk to friends about relationships, but it's succinct - 10 minutes, then we move on.

Everything is just make believe. They're just different versions of make believe. I love the period of this movie [The Finest Hours]. I love the '40s. I love the '50s. I love the style of the clothes. I love how the women looked. I love the dances. I love the music. I love the amber of the lights and the cars. I'm in love with all of it.

Ignore the naysayers. Really the only option is, head down and focus on the job.

Growing up in a family of actors, what's great about it is that they're very supportive and they understand what it's like to be an actor - the rejections, the highs and lows... and having a common language with them is great because you have shorthand speech.
