I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

If you're onstage and you're improvising and nothing's happening, people are racing for the door. But the director can go shopping later and pick up pieces and moments and insert them.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

To be in a movie directed by Wolfgang Petersen, and a movie that had a large budget... I got a taste of what really good filmmaking could be.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.

You make the choice. You look at each scene and you make sure that this is not a person deceiving people.
