I have a profound respect for cinematographers. That is my secret sauce. Like they are everything to me.

I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to

Heath [Ledger] was always somebody who I admired.He was way beyond his years as a human, in a way.

There are lines that just stick with me, like I mean I still can remember it's like every line that I say from Nightcrawler, I mean it's just always there.

Romance is important, but to have a friend you can use as a mirror, who can give you an objective response, that's what's really important.

It's daunting trying to do any service as an American to such a beautiful, fluid speech pattern that you [British] all have. We are just barbarians in comparison.

The amount of preparation I saw from someone like [David] Fincher, and how aware he is of everybody else's job on the set, and how much respect he has for every aspect of the film, and every aspect of the frame - that's the type of actor I am now; it's not the type of actor I was then. But without understanding his process, and then coming to learn it later on, I would never be the actor I am now.
