I was the youngest child and got a lot more freedom than my brother and sister. I used to wander, doing my own thing under the radar, but I didn't get in bad, bad trouble.

I suppose there must be some way in which I'm compelled to show some side of myself - or of people - that's paranoid and fraught and beleaguered and downtrodden, just as Tom Cruise wants to show that he's terrifyingly upbeat and terrifyingly heroic all the time.

I don't mind talking about acting. I don't have anything interesting to say about it, but it's interesting talking about it.

Maybe it's because I have too much pride or self-respect, but I thought, `Why does a guy who has thinning hair and who is overweight have to be a loser or a joke?'

I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.

Lead roles are fun, but I'm especially happy other, more colorful supporting stuff has come along.

It is because my dad died suddenly that I became an actor. I thought, I'm going to make money doing this thing I enjoy.
