You think that if you are the best actor, you deserve the most or if you are the biggest star, you deserve the most. That race just isn't important to me.

I never really considered acting as a career. I kind of fell into it. Originally, I wanted to be a painter.

I'm not really a tourist attraction kind of guy.

I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.

I do a lot of weird movies that maybe you don't like and I experiment a lot but maybe I do appreciate the process and I think my greatest joy in this business is that I have had the ability to screw up in a lot of really interesting films!

If I was painting or writing, I wouldn't veer away from things because they seemed unsavoury to me. So as an actor, I kind of think the same way. I should do things that are different and interesting and shed light on the craziness of the world.

I don't think there's a problem with being a teen idol, if that happens to me, I'll be happy to deal with it.
