You have to have the darkness for the dawn to come.

That's always my ambition is to create a character out of what will help tell the story. I've never been an actor to say my character wouldn't do that, because he should do that in order to help tell the story.

[On being an actor] .nothing more than a worker in a service occupation . It's like being a waiter or a gas station attendant, but I'm waiting on 6 million people in a week if I'm lucky.

I was completely unprepared for the public spectacle my private life became, and didn't like it a bit.

I never feel sexy. I have a distant relationship with the mirror.

There is no child left within me, none whatsoever.

I saw what luck and success I had as an opportunity to twist it up and do something different, so I've always sought out different genres and different kinds of characters.
