I was a big "Blue Valentine" fan. I really loved that movie. And I thought the performances were just unbelievably real, which is certainly what I always strive for in my work.

I’ve actually been in a lot of movies that involve sucking on fingers.

Now, even when I see the trailers, I get so excited because it's like I'm seeing a movie that I haven't seen at all before, whatsoever. And then I just happen to be in it.

Acting is all about being truthful. I'm really bad at lying. I'm one of the worst liars I know.

I guess he was such an open, emotional vessel that I think he tapped into human nature, so it just left people wondering what would have happened. I think James Dean would be 83 today. He could be here, what would he be doing?

I like to believe that most human beings go about things with a point of view that they're just doing what they feel like they need to do at that time. Sometimes people make bad decisions, but it's not evil, not malicious.

I think that ultimately what drives my decisions is if I think the opportunity is going to challenge me in a way that makes me better as an actor.
