There is this idea in Hollywood, and I've seen it work for people, where the unspoken rule is 'Do two for them and one for yourself.' And that's kind of considered a fact. I've never really found that to be true for me. I've gotten more opportunities out of working on things I believed in than I ever did on things that weren't special to me.

The thing that's so exciting when you're making a film is that it can be anything and there are no limitations on it.

I grew up Mormon. I wasn't really Mormon, my parents were.

I don't even think of myself as particularly good looking, and not at all a typical kind of Hollywood leading man sort of actor.

You know how sometimes department stores have these things where, if you win, you get 10 minutes to go in and take anything you want from the store? That's basically what I'm doing. I'm running in and just trying to grab as many characters as possible before they pull the plug on me.

I'm attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life.

I don't think anyone can teach you how to be a man but a woman. You only learn by learning what they need.
