I'm not out there trying to get press for myself nor am I trying to convince anybody that I'm living any kind of a life. I'm actually trying to convince people: I don't want you to know what I'm living, because it's none of your business.

You are not just, "This is the way I play it every night." You are constantly finding new ways in, new attacks, "I want to try it this way. Maybe this scene is affecting that scene. I want to attack this scene differently."

The journey that we go on as actors is an interesting one and sometimes a revealing one.

I'm a relatively ugly character who's done pretty damn well in film.

You have to always be ready, always be alive, and always be willing to move in a new direction.

Why not sit around a Beverly Hills pool collecting residual cheques? That is not the kind of life I want.

Anytime someone can beat the acting out of someone else, I think its a wonderful thing.
