I've decided as an actor the only, the power I have really is in the performance. It's the only real place I get to sort of communicate.

I've become obsessed with learning other languages in movies, because I was like, since I was like, but I learned how to box so why don't I just learn another language for a movie?

I fooled around with Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams got pregnant.

I don't have a "I want to play this or that," I just don't have that. I've never been like that.

I have always had a deep belief that every movie, every artistic expression, is political. Don't be fooled. Even ones that we wouldn't consider overtly political are political. When we spend time doing anything, whether it's distraction or whether it's something that we have to face, it is always political. That's my belief.

I was working with Michael Shannon and I was like, "Oh man I'm having trouble with this scene." And he's like, "Well, then just open it up." I was like, "But, the mark?" And I was like, what's wrong with me? And he was like, "Dude, what's wrong with you?"

Often times it's really hard for me to articulate why I connect to something.
