I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.

My parents never talked to me like I was a kid. Maybe that's why I've been seen as mature.

I never get scared making these kinds of movies because it's all make-believe, but I did cry when I saw the finished version of Man On Fire because it is so sad.

I'm always able to find light moments on any set, no matter what. Just because a scene is heavy doesn't mean that you have to be heavy, all day long. I was working with people who had a sense of humor and wanted to have those light moments with me.

You know in cartoons, the way someone can run off a cliff and they're fine, they don't fall down until they look down? My mom always said that was the secret of life. Never look down. But it's more than that. It's not just about looking. It's about never realizing that you're in the middle of the air and you don't know how to fly.

If I see a movie on TV that I'm in, I usually will watch it for that reason: It's like I'm watching another person.

I never skimp on TV. I watch an embarrassing amount of TV shows. I don't even know how I do it.
