I think that if you can achieve a balance, then you appease a lot of yourself and your career and what it takes to maintain in this business for a while

I've only been in one fight in my whole life... in 7th grade, yet everyone thinks I'm a maniac.

My career has been up and down, and I like it much better being up.

You know, I started out really hot out of the box. Then I've definitely had and up-and-down career. And when things started cooling off again, it frustrated me.

There are a lot of actors who will watch the monitors. They'll do a scene, and then the director will look back to see if he got whatever he wanted. I just find it odd to sit there and watch yourself. But if you can be objective, I can see how it's really useful as a tool, especially if you're doing something physical.

I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.

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.
