We all have one, in one form or another. To me, this dragon is both the wild nature of ourselves and our conscience in his embodiment of the Old Code ethical behavior and morality. At the same time, he's our unconscious, the place from which our dreams arise. I just spoke my lines to the dragon within me.

It's hard for two actors to be together. Take the traveling, for instance. It winds up being a long distance relationship, all the time, because one’s working here and one’s working there, or one’s staying at home and one’s off someplace else.

I look for a good story. Usually the best stories are the ones that are unbelievably true. 'Soul Surfer' is one of those stories.

That's what is great about what I do, going from one job to the other.

I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.

You have to have the ability to remake yourself. Whatever that is. Every several years... Every five to 10 years.

Sometimes in movies, I still have to be the hero, but it's not all that important to me anymore.
