It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.

If I wanted to connect like I do now, I'd have to write 500,000 letters, get 500,000 stamps, send them out and wait for them all to come back. This stuff is instantaneous. I can see if someone is having a bad day and send them a smiley face and have an effect on them. It's fun, but it's also a very powerful thing.

I would like to meet Mikhail Gorbachev. I think it would be great to sit in a room with him...and try to make peace.

I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me

I'm a fan of good horror movies.

Every job in Hollywood is a risk. You don't know, when you sign a contract, if something is going to pop, you don't know whether this or that network is going to support your show. You just show up and do the best work you can do, gravitate towards the best material, you know, and try to make the right choices. And the rest of it is a roll of the dice.

It wasn't until The Sixth Sense that people started saying, wow, man, you're an actor. People didn't think of me as the guy in a band anymore.
