Most boys' first hero is their father. That was definitely true of my dad. He was a proud Irish American and he taught me a lot about ethics and responsibility. He also introduced me to a lot of wonderful folk music.

Hollywood is an illusion. These intense workplaces, with very close relationships, a few months at a time - and then it ends.

It's true that the skills required to be a conman are the same as those required for being an actor. Though those skills are in the service of something a bit more noble with acting, I hope.

I would love to do a western. I would love to play an explorer. That is always something that has really captured my imagination since I was a kid, like James Cook or Magellan or Earnest Shackleton.

I feel like a teenager myself, so I appreciate it when the kids think you're all right.

I like people who are able to keep pushing themselves and challenging themselves even after great success.

I kinda taught myself how to play guitar, and I still play to this day. It's become a pretty big part of my life.
