I just like a good story. I want the story to be good and I want the character to be different than the last one I played. That's not always possible, but that's what I want.

Everyone thinks their family is the craziest family in the world. Like, 'My God, my family's crazy!

Brad Pitt is a dude who just wants to make good movies. He's not afraid to surround himself with the greatest actors, which I always appreciate because I've also seen actors who only want to surround themselves with weak actors because it makes them look better. That ends up making a poorer movie.

No one has a name in 'The Road.' Like Cormac McCarthy's novel from which it's adapted, 'The Road' features characters such as the man, the boy, the wife, the old man and the veteran.

You know one scene I always think about is in 'The Godfather', when Marlon Brando's in the hospital. Al Pacino arrives there and enlists the help of the baker to protect his father. The two of them stand outside and the baker fiddles with a cigarette lighter, but Pacino's hands are rock steady. That's when we sort of realize that he can do this.

If it's a good story, then everybody is trying to tell it, everybody is better for it, and it's just more fun.

I've always liked stories. I'm always reading, ever since I was a kid. I've always been reading and wanting to be in some other world.
