I went to New Orleans for the first time for Wild at Heart, and I kept going back to make more movies there. I've become very close to the city and part of me does feel like a New Orleanian.

I cry a lot. My emotions are very close to my surface. I don't want to hold anything in so it festers and turns into pus - a pustule of emotion that explodes into a festering cesspool of depression.

When I act, I hear it like music. In my head, I hear the dialogue like music.

Tattoos to me are the outward symbol of the inward change within my soul.

I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.

My father was always getting excited about something. It's genetically inside me somewhere.

Celebrity is a word I take great umbrage with. I'm actively anti-celebrity.
