I find what I do for a living really funny. I mean, acting is kind of a hilarious thing for a grown man to call a job.

I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.

Basically, it's somebody who got stuck having to interview me who really wants to be a novelist, so they're writing these novellas and I was like, "It's not true, that didn't happen, they just made all that up! Why don't they just go ahead and be a novelist instead of bothering with interviewing me?"

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

I want to be able to just act and never do any interview, but I don't have the balls to stand up to the studio and say, "I'm never doing another interview in my life!"

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

I went backwards and forwards over it until I was 22. And then in the past few years I began to say to myself, OK, look, I'm not messing around. This is something I want to attack, instead of thinking, I'll just see what happens with it.
