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

So I take a little sleeping pill, pop it and realize nothing's happening - but something else was happening.

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.

You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.

I don't really think there's much difference between a character actor and a leading man besides aesthetics.

You have a great road map when you play somebody that exists. That's the amazing thing. But then you have great limitations from that road map. It's hard to deviate from it creatively as an actor. It's like, "Oh wait, he'd never do that."

I've done movies that nobody's seen, and that's no fun.
