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 mean, I'm not going to play the hero of something.

You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.

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

I've got to be the geekiest guy in the world in a lot of ways. I'm like a zeta male.

Acting can be a really silly thing. It's like playing dress-up.

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.
