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

I am critical of myself like everyone else. You go to a movie theater and you are forty feet high. I had bad skin as a teenager and I am a shy person, but I think I am in the perfect business to fight my insecurities. You have to learn to love yourself and say 'I am pretty cool' instead of being so critical. You can easily fall into the trap of doing that.

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.

When you want something enough, it brings out primal emotions. You get into this place of 'must happen, must happen.'

I think that when you let go and "throw it all away" and stop getting attached and say "whatever happens, happens", you don't invest too much in anything particular, and things work out.

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

After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.
