You look at what interests a person and then you formulate what their opinions are, in terms of how they see the world, and how they see love and life.

I've been told I'm too good looking for certain roles, but that's okay, it just motivates me to go deeper.

I grew up on a farm where we had one radio station and it was all country.

I'd mortgage any house for art.

I had done chorus before in school, but I was only trying for an easy A. I was a bass going 'dum dum da doo wop.

I remember telling my creative writing teacher that you never want to have a journal, because if you lose it, then someone's going to know all your secrets. And then she stopped using a journal, but I always write everything down... Anytime I travel, I try and fill up notepads.

It’s funny, though, speaking of fathers and sons, because me and John Goodman played father and son, like, five or six years ago in the film Death Sentence [2007], and I got back with him again in Inside Llewyn Davis.
