Nobody can make a movie as exciting as Jerry Bruckheimer. When it's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie that it's going to have lots of chrome and gloss, it's going to be sexy, and it's going to be big and fun.

I knew I wanted to be an actor when I was very young. I guess I was about 6 years old at the time, and I was fascinated by television. I started having waking fantasies where I was in a movie and there were crane shots of me during a scene.

How do you rebel in a family of rebels?

All movies on some level can aspire to be more than just whatever the label is of the movie.

I believe that there's a way to question authority with manners, with dignity. There's no reason to be rude about it.

There is a misperception, if you will, in critical response or even in Hollywood, that I can only do exaggerated characters. Or what they would call over-the-top performances. Well, this is completely false.

I'm always fearful of something happening to people I love. That doesn't go away.
