Because technically actors are just public servants really. They just tell stories because people need to be told stories. That's all it is. And yet we get treated as though we're important.

That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.

No movie has ever got enough time. It doesn't matter how much money you've got, and it doesn't matter how much money you've not got. You never finish on time. You're always up against it and you're always working up until the end.

The funny thing is, I've never really hurt myself in an action movie. I've done 'Wanted,' 'X-Men,' 'Welcome To The Punch,' even 'Trance' to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I've never really hurt myself at all - not even like a sprained ankle.

I don't know if anybody's ever ready for another award season. It's kind of like Christmas.

Our intellect, our awareness, and our consciousness is the most powerful form of life on this planet.

It's nice to be in a movie that hasn't been absolutely slaughtered by the press.
