I think people only have so much interest in anybody, and if you barrage them in between the times you have something to offer them you become a personality rather than an actor - much more short-lived. I only work once a year. And that's enough.

[In relationships with a directors] I want to be able to give and take, and I can't name what it is: respect, energy, investment in the task, focus, humor, intelligence, but I always feel responsible for taking the money.

I haven't purposefully set out to play heroes. I'm interested in playing the character who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances. But he's really either just saving himself or acting in the service of something that's important to him.

Bikes and planes aren’t about going fast or having fun; they’re toys, but serious ones.

Chadwick Boseman work as an actor, I think, is truly remarkable, and I had a great time working with him.

I found out that drama was a fascinating exercise as a way to get out of my self and into somebody else's head.

All my friends were going off to be professionals, and I said I wanted to be an actor.
