I'm definitely a lover, but I fight when I have to - for something or someone.

For me, with me, making a film is always about humanity.

Watching a really good movie excites me, because it makes we want to get up off the couch and go shoot something and act in a scene. And music excites me because it puts me in a mind state, whatever that may be.

Do as much homework as you can. Learn everybody's job and don't just settle.

I definitely want to do films. To see a character out from beginning to end in a matter of a hundred somewhat pages and then move on to the next role, is fascinating.

ESPN Zone was probably the coolest thing I could do [making "Hardball"]. But Navy Pier was the other thing. I'd take my bicycle and ride down to Navy Pier and just hang out. Try to get a phone number or something. That was my thing.

That's one of the fun parts of becoming an actor: You can become whoever you want to be.
