My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.

My hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message.

How serious can a movie about time-traveling robots be? You want it to be cool and fun.

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.

It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience.

You get those occasional moments when you're absolutely calm, and you've just done something that would have scared you shitless earlier that day, and you've just done it like it was nothing. I find that very relaxing.

Planning a career, I always find a tricky thing, because I don't have much of a plan, really.
