I think there are three types of actors. There are the ones that do the ego thing, which is "I'm never going to look bad in a movie, ever." This is mostly the action film dudes, like, "Nah, hell no. He ain't punchin' me! I'd whoop his ass!"

I use to watch like maybe three or four movies, five days out of the week. I was a movie buff, but I really didn't know what it was like behind the scenes, or the whole political process of it.

The only place that I'd be worried about being typecast is the independent film world.

I was hanging out in gers [yurts] with these Kazakh sort of Bedouins. Drank nasty-ass camel milk. The drive [from the Souther Gobi to Ulan Bator] is insane. It's like The Road.

My dad was more, "Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid." He's more the intellectual type.

The whole surf culture is starting to embrace women a lot more.

I wouldn't want to sacrifice the last years that I have of being youthful in this business to have kids.
