With a character like a Captain Jack, who can essentially set up these verbal land mines around him, and just keep passing the "absurdity ball" around and the "irreverence ball" around, and keep people guessing and keep people confused, there's great safety in that. Me, myself, personally, I learn from it. It's a real pleasure, and I do need him.

You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.

With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.

I don't like watching myself in the movies because I don't like being aware of the product. I like the process. I enjoy that.

You don't have to underestimate your audience anymore. They'd actually like to laugh a little bit. So, the character came to me and once it's got its grips in you, there's nowhere to go.

I think everybody's weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.

I can't tell my self that I'm a serious actor. But I'm serious person.
