Every man goes through a period of thinking they're attracted to another guy.

I remember Chris Cooper saying to me - I was doing October Sky with him - and he said, "You know, you're just yelling at me." He's like, "You're just yelling. You need to listen." We were in a fight, and you know, oh you'd get so excited as an actor, you're like, "We have a fight, oh, I get to get mad." And he just said, "You need to listen." And I started listening - and then all of a sudden where I was listening was where, I don't know, anger became something else.

When you find theater writing like in the theater on film but it's realistic, it doesn't matter who the character is, you want to do it.

I think you hear a lot of people say 'I support the troops' and all of that, but I really feel deeply that I do.

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 started to realize I love study, I love the study of human behavior.

Other people's belief changes you. We all have insecurity, and uncertainty, and to have that glow cast over you by somebody that you respect, makes a gigantic difference.
