I was tall from minute one. Always the tallest kid by a large margin. And my fantasy was to take up less space in the world.

I love theater. Just, it never spoke to me.

I think if you're doing a play, you're rehearsing enough that you get to a point where it's freeing again. But in a movie, if you rehearse too much, now you've just shown everybody what you're going to do. And any element of surprise or impulsiveness is taken away.

Having a very complicated life, or a lot of problems, or a lot of flaws, is always great to play.

I wish I knew who said it, but my favorite quote is, "If a person can do it, I can do it."

People think of me in the same breath as Robert Redford and Robert De Niro.

Nobody ever said, "Well if you want to be in movies, you should go to L.A." Everybody else was going to New York. So I went to New York with them. And then I was like, "How am I supposed to get a movie?"
