My whole mantra is, "Go big or go home." I don't want to just play a guy who dresses up. I want to play the person who threw down.

I love showing up and giving a performance without the benefit of a lot of rehearsal or dissection. It's fun to me to act on a kind of instinctual level and go straight for the performance.

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon.

I don't think that I've had a career like anyone else's, but there are hosts and hosts of actors whose careers I admire.

I was working more on a primal, instinctive level. And it just seemed to suit me; it seemed to suit my concentration span, it seemed to suit my personal style of performance, and I have fallen in love with film acting.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.

I, for one, am not nearly as engaged when I'm looking at something that's been completely drawn up on a computer that replaces anything that's in real time and real space. It just engages me all the less, rather than all the more.
