I think there are more good young actors now than ever. It's a medium that everyone wants to be connected with - it is such a hip medium going into the 21st century.

You really have to soak up the culture of the people to get it right. If you're making a fiction film, it's entertainment, but you want it to be as real as possible.

Around my own friends, I like to mess around.

Some people say, 'Do you have any theories on acting?' And I say, well maybe: I think you can start with zero and end with zero. You don't have to go anywhere, you don't have to go for the result.

My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.

I can always grow a little bit, and try to do something different. So I'm always looking for what's out there - the potential.

To this day, I still think Lonesome Dove is my best part.
