My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.

It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.

I've never done real sci-fi. I've never played an alien. I've never played some sort of superhero. Which I'd love to do!

Shia [LaBeouf] was great. He's just high energy. He's into really playing, and I had to be on my toes in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting.

I had one really memorable line. It was all the words you're not allowed to say on the airwaves, so it's one long list of swear words. I knew it anyway, because I was a huge George Carlin fan.

I sat next to Robert Duvall at the lawyers' table for six weeks, and it's still probably the best six weeks of my life.

I think I've been able to be in some really good projects with some really good people.
