'3:10 to Yuma' was one that I just kept on talking and thinking about after reading it. And I think the reason is because, like in most Westerns, you have the very clear-cut bad-guy/good-guy, however, as the movie progresses, you kind of see that it's a very fine line that divides these two.

I've always believed that the director does whatever the hell he wants. That's what you sign on for as an actor - I can't stand it when you have actors who are trying to leverage directors into doing things they don't want to do.

It's very easy to leave when things go wrong, but to stick around and to basically give life to a town because of everything that it gave you generation after generation after generation, that to me is what defines a true American.

I don't personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.

Were all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.

The point of having a director is that they make the final decision; it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.

After the modest success of my first film, I found it very daunting to have to live with that kind of burden of expectations.
