I only want to do the kind of work that I would like to go and see, that`s going to teach me something new, that involves working with people I can learn something from and I can give something to.

Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.

I always prefer things straight up, not cold or watered down. Not big on cocktails either.

Every so often you get to play wonderful characters maybe at the wrong time in your life. Sometimes, you get to play terrible characters at a really great time in your life. Sometimes, the right character comes along at the right time.

When someone like Steven Soderbergh asks you to do a film you know you're in good hands. You know it's going to be slick, and it's going to be intelligent, and it's going to have a kind of style to it, and I would probably have done anything to be really honest.

A job is not just a job. It’s who you are.

Look, how many stories have I broken? Hundreds. How many have proved to be untrue? There isn't one.
