Acting has to do with saying it as if you meant it, so for me the words are always very important. It's very important for me to know my lines, know them so well that I don't have to think about them.

People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.

I'm scared of everything. I think it's only sensible to be that way.

Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way.

A job leads to a job, just like anything else, and it became apparent that this was probably what I was going to keep doing.

Guns make me very nervous. They're dangerous. I'm more of a pacifist than anyone could imagine.
