You can’t just lump things into two categories. Things aren’t that simple.

When you have the opportunity to choose projects, inevitably you start being moved towards the things that you're moved by, right? And that changes over time, as we change, right?

Sometimes what I actually love to do is go to a farm and get fresh milk or watch a pig get slaughtered.

I think also what's interesting is that Maggie [Gyllenhaal] knows how much the choices that I make reflect what's going on in my life. Admittedly, probably, as my sister, and as someone who loves me - like, she can't wait to see become a father.

When I walk into a screening, I'm nervous in a different way than I am as an actor. But the response is ultimately I know how I feel about it and that's what matters to me the most.

Everybody is an actor in one way or another. We are all performing certain things.

It's amazing how the world has changed because, at that time [2005], a lot of actors didn't want to play a gay role.
