Being a Catholic is the most important aspect of my life.

Normally, eat any our caterer makes these wonderful chocolate chip cookies for lunch. It was my one treat of the day, after getting beat up on the mountain while shooting Lone Survivor. I'd eat a couple cookies and then take a 15-minute nap on the top of the mountain.

James Cagney, Steve McQueen, I loved all those guys. I grew up loving the movies but had no desire to be in them.

I think the most important thing is to always be involved in every aspect of their life. To give them enough trust that they can share things with you. I don't want them to be terrified of me, you know? But I don't want them to think they can do whatever they want and get away with it, either, because they can't.

I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.

A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I'm a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.

For a lot of explosions and stuff like that [in Transformers] you're harnessed to something getting swung in the air or dragged onto something or thrown onto something.
