I like girls who are intelligent, somewhat funny, and pretty with a nice personality.

When I can't immediately define the character, and there's an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that's when I say yes.

It's very, very rare in this business [moviemaking] where a script lands on your lap ready to go.

You can either be a vain movie star, or you can try to shed some light on different aspects of the human condition.

When I was doing 'This Boy's Life' I wanted to be as old as Robert DeNiro and as experienced as him and have the same respect as he did in that movie.

Like everything, personal relationships and all that stuff is sort of put on ice while you go off to your location for five or six months. So, do I feel more settled in my life and in my work? Absolutely, yeah.

I'm shy, but when the time comes to be wild, I'm fun-loving, adventurous, and mysterious.
