I don't want a perfect character, I want a character who has, as strange as it sounds, some humanity, some flaws, some needs.

I want to make all kinds of movies. I do want to make big movies that are a lot of fun to go to, but I also want to make movies that are going to stimulate some thought and maybe raise some awareness.

Sometimes I do love to rehearse, but I always switch it up depending on whom I'm working with.

I would like to find a way to embrace what Led Zeppelin did, in filmmaking.

I would love to work with Tim Burton. I think we would be very good together.

With every action oriented or adventure film, there's going to be a moment when every actor becomes a stuntman and every stuntman becomes an actor. You try to do as much of it as you can, but inevitably the studio wants you to finish the movie. So you've got to slow down and you're really got to defer to your team to make sure you do.

I care about the connection with the audience. Film is such a powerful medium. Movies can change the way people think.
