Suddenly people were saying I was cocky because I'd done a Steven Spielberg movie and thought I was better than everyone else, which surprised me at first. I suddenly started feeling like a freak because everyone was treating me differently. It was confusing, and I did wonder if acting was for me anymore.

Nuclear apocalypse-who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.

What the hell kind of man decides to dress up as a bat and run around the city? There's got to be something a little bit loose in there.

I do like taking stuff seriously that a lot of people look at as nonsense. I enjoy the insanity of that. And I like the commitment that is needed for that.

I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to.

The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.

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