It's a skill that people are born with. Either you're a focuser or you're a multitasky person. I am a full-focus person.

I don't know if I see myself as really an action hero, but I like doing physical movies and I like doing movies where the writing is very lean.

As I've said before, and I still hold to, I truly am the most boring person alive. And if there was a great investigation to be found at the end of the resume, it would be, the most boring person alive.

Any actor working a long time should know how a shot is set up, where to place themselves, how to handle the lines. I'm a member of the crew, like the best boy, the electrician. What I'm good at is making eyes at the camera.

I don't really think I have the personality. I am not very external. I don't want to dance on the table and do impressions. So I think that the way I approach it is really loving story. That's my first love - the words. The words and the story and how to create images. I guess I come at that as a director. I think that's much more in my personality to be a director, so that's kind of informed my acting.

It's very hard for me to get a new car. It's really hard for me to get a new house. It's really hard for me to move on from the things that give me stability.

What I didn't realize is how completely consumed I would be by my sons. I didn't know that the rest of my life would become so little a priority.
