I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

A stare is really nothing more than what you're thinking inside.

I never, ever wanted to be an actor.

It came time to go to college. My dad said, go wherever you want. Take whatever you want. He just really believed in getting out and being exposed to different things.

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.

I really believe that you never stop learning.

I've done a few movies where I really liked the project, but I wasn't sure about the director, and I still did it and my instinct was right, in the beginning. Even though it was a good story, the guy still didn't really know what he was doing.
