I like to eat sweets. When I go to a restaurant, I'll read the dessert menu before I even look at the entrees.

I'm getting to the point where they see me as a good actor, rather than just a good guy who can act.

I'm kind of a private person, and sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get me to talk.
