Our friendship [ with Don Handfield] has remained all that time, and I'm godfather to his kids, but then when The Hurt Locker came around, I just knew there was a lot of opportunity that was coming in, and just couldn't really manifest any opportunities because things were busy.

Why I'm so stimulated by [producing] is it becomes more proactive. Instead of waiting around for a script to come in, or some movie trying to go. You're waiting around always for that opportunity, which is great, but I like to be a little bit more proactive. I'm a very action-oriented guy - I'm a doer. The company really became this spearhead for that sort of attitude, and so that, to me, was the most exciting part of it.

I don't do well with expectation in my life. All I can do is do the best that I can do.

I'm attracted to those kinds of roles that could be good or could be bad, and you just don't know.

I was an athlete when I was growing up.

There are rumblings of Captain America 3. I don’t know what’s going to happen there. I’ve got to find the time, man. I’m trying to stay home and I can’t.

Yeah, yeah, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye type of thing. There's that kind of irreverence to it the humor and in the reality of what's really going on that plays into this movie.
