Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive.

I've done quite a few movies, I generally can feel that I'm not right for the role or a general fear if I can pull it off, and him giving that "tag" so to speak gave me the confidence. Like that Miles Davis line, "Don't worry about mistakes, there aren't any." Once you are the part, you're the guy, so you can't not be the guy because you're it.

I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do. You got your own things. And the whole idea of getting a job because of who your father is - that didn't feel right. But after a while I guess I figured I must be doing something right, because people wouldn't keep hiring me if I didn't have something to give.

Yeah I loved, as a kid growing up, I loved science-fiction.

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.

Myths are wonderful tools that we've had, oh, for eons now that help us navigate the situations we find ourselves in.

If you open your heart, then the object of your love becomes so precious because you are so open. And that philosophy, that caring, spreads.
