One of the things that's interesting to me is I find things like caffeine and stunts actually relax me. When they're putting a bit of gel on my arm and lighting me on fire, or when I'm about to go into a high-speed car chase or rev a motorcycle up pretty fast, I find everything else around me slows down.

I like the idea of being involved in pictures that can entertain the entire family and can stimulate youngsters into looking at picture books. There's nothing wrong with that.

I've acted professionally since I was 16.

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

Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?

I'm not afraid to play ugly - look at 'Adaptation.' I looked like a turd that a cat had coughed up.

One day, one of my dreams is to someday get to do Nemo in '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.'
