I put a lot of stock in the written word, and the power of it. That's what I love about acting and reading scripts. Words are really powerful.

I'll take sticks and stones.

I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party; I'm not a terribly sociable creature.

I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it.

There's a lot of time sitting in movies, so you can put alligators in people's trailers in your spare time. So it [making a film] moves slower, which in some ways is great, because you can live with a scene and invest in it a lot.
