In America now every romantic comedy is interpreted politically. I can remember when I was promoting Black Hawk Down we were all being asked what it said about September 11th. Well, it was shot before that happened, so, nothing.

Film sets are great fun. Film people are great people to hang around with. I don't want to run off and be distracted by other things.

I wasn't going to be a college kid. The only subject I was interested in was English. I think I had a subconscious interest in analyzing story.

I never look at the size of the film when I'm looking for a part.

I've always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films.

I think quite often, being on the new set is not what you expect. The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious. I don't think there are any hard-and-fast rules. I just think it really depends on your director and what the general vibe is.

I think I wasted a lot of my youth, falling for girls who were a couple of years older than me.
