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 wound up auditioning, wound up getting in, and I was off to the races: I was putting in four more years after school to train to be an actor. I was 26 years old, and I still had a locker, for Christ's sake!

You never get tired of making money, and you never get tired of a great acting gig, a same role that you can play for years, with wonderful writing and wonderful actors.

Maybe I'm just lucky I'm not working with any assholes... yet.

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.
