This created world really helped me as an actor. It heightened everything, which made it more dangerous, more interesting and more liberating.

I don't think there's a specific science you can put on dream psychology. I think that it's up to the, obviously, the individual.

I think it's a real danger, as an actor, when you try to make some statement through your career about what the business should be doing or ultimately what your image should be or how you want to be perceived. I look at every project that comes along and say, "Is this something I can sink my teeth into and can do a good job on?" That's really how I choose roles.

The Gatsby that I remember reading when I was 15 years old in junior high school was far different from the Gatsby I read as an adult.

Since I was very young I've been fascinated with nature and I actually wanted to be a marine biologist when I was very young. That was a great passion of mine. So I suppose in the off season when I'm not making movies, I became more and more active as an environmentalist trying to be more vocal about issues that I felt were important.

I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand your gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.

One of my passions is to meet people and then imitate them. I love doing that.
