In work, never have any regrets and always leave everything on the field.

People say to me, well "What's the character you really want to play?" And I go, I don't know.

'Brokeback Mountain' takes all your conceptions of America, and the Western, and cowboys, and sexuality, and love, and it stirs them all up.

I admire actors and artists who devote just as much time to their life as they do to their work.

In a perfect world, I would love to do one play for every three movies.

I think I find tactile things, you know. Just the feeling of blood itself is enough for me. If you, even if it's not real blood. I mean that's enough, like sometimes there are very simple things that are enough.
