Alexander Payne's very specific. His scripts are always complete when you start working on them.

I have always had a problem with my weight.

You hope that the same people are coming back. I love playing with Angela [Bassett]. She's fierce. I met her years and years ago when she was a student at Yale, so to see her do these fierce roles and go on to [be] this powerhouse has just been awesome.

A lot of guys come up talking about The Waterboy. I get a lot of that. Misery, Delores Claiborne and The Waterboy, those are the main ones I get.

I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.

I try to always stretch myself to fit the characters that have been presented.

I'm a horror movie fan to begin with, so to come back to the genre, I feel like horror has been very good to me.
