If you look at films about becoming a man, coming-of-age movies are made with 12-, 16-, 40-, 50-year-olds... For a guy to feel like hes a 100 percent grown-up is almost like giving up. Like admitting that youre on your way into the grave.

A lot of people believe in reading reviews. If I get too focused on some detail of what they've said about me, I'm going to end up shooting myself in the foot.

I always wanted, and still aspire, to be something more than just one thing, just one performance.

There's the most resistance to an actor singing. It's like I'm being disloyal to my industry.

I feel like my responsibility as an actor is to make characters as compelling and believable as possible.

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.

If I'm in a situation where someone doesn't recognize me and treats me like everyone else, I'm not used to it.
