The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.

A fella who accepts himself and is relaxed into who he is - that appeals to people.

During my early years, I thought I might be a musician. Like most kids, I didn't do what my parents wanted me to do. They were gung-ho that all their kids become actors. They loved showbiz so much. I am a product of nepotism, basically.

The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up.

I'm a big fan of country.

That's one of the cool things about fame. You have an affect on society and where it goes.

Making a film, it uses a certain... 'pretend-muscle,' I don't know what you want to call it. It exhausts something in me, I find. It has to be really something to get me interested.
