All you have in the end is to look back and like the choices you've made.

As actors, we react to the material that's out there, and I probably just react more strongly to things that I feel will have some social value.

[Americans] can't understand that the water in our toilet is cleaner than 880 million have access to.

The thing that I like about Germany is that Germans are so much like us. It's not like going to some other countries, where the differences are overwhelming and you walk around in a fog. Germans are so similar to Americans.

Life is on the wire. The rest is just waiting.

If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day. 'Heres Matt at home learning his lines. Here's Matt researching in aisle six of his local library'. A few hours of that and they'd go home.

I think what makes a good actor's director is somebody who understands what I'm doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive.
