I live in New York City, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble. So there's no way for me to properly conceive of the attention that the movie gets in a way that doesn't make me confused.

Look, I don't have a Facebook page because I have little interest in hearing myself talk about myself any further than I already do in interviews or putting any more about myself online than there already is. But if I wasn't in this position, I'm sure I would use it every day.

The frustrating part of being a movie actor is waiting in your trailer to do two takes of a scene you've prepared for two months.

I've never worked during the summer. I take summers off.

The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.

First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.

I'm kind of shocked any time somebody hires me and even more shocked any time somebody hires me to play a character like Lex Luthor, which I only knew from the public consciousness of him being a bald, brooding villain who is older than me.
