Hey, I'm just trying to become the Michael Caine/Gene Hackman of my generation.

The truth is that filmmaking is not really an actor's medium; it's really a director's medium, so all I can really control is the character that I'm playing. So I try to look for characters that are interesting and engaging and different than what I've done before and hopefully it becomes a good movie.

I do a lot of improvising on movies, actually.

You know, the truth is that us actors would all like to believe we re-invent the wheel, every time we play a character. But, we're human beings and our instruments are not violins, they are our bodies and our consciousness and our collective life experience.

The way you get through having a shitty job is to laugh a lot and goof around.

The truth is, when you're at the track, it was an interesting thing about stock car racing as a sport, is you almost get more out of it watching it on TV.

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