The work I'm doing on 'Watchmen' is mind bending and physically just hard.

I love playing a villain. I think that there's something freeing about that, and it's a different kind of challenge. More than anything, for me as an actor, it's about challenging myself and doing as many different things as I can.

I just didn't want to get bored playing a character, and that's kind of the benefit of doing films; you've lived with a character for four or five months and that's it, and you walk away from that character and you feel like you told a story.

The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play.

I can't say enough about Ireland. I can't. I'd move there.

I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.

Certainly I think being an absentee farther helps in adding a layer of conflict.
