Directing takes a lot of time.

I hate it when there's a good movie, someone overhypes it and I'm disappointed that I don't like it more.

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual. But in "Iron Man" it was kind of like both worlds colliding because there was a lot of improvisation, not that we improv-ed in the scenes but to discover the actual scenes themselves.

Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.

When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.

I don't think I ever went down that movie star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did.

You just have to work with your discomfort. ... It’s challenging, but you have to dance the dance that the band’s playing. You can’t say: “I came here to Cha Cha and they’re playing a Waltz, godammit!”
