But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.

People are sheepish when they approach me.

In my career, I've often played the protagonist or the hero of the movie, and there are so many rules inherent to that role. The audience needs to stay with you, identify with you and like you. When you play the bad guy, those rules go out the window. There's so much freedom there.

Being a father is the greatest achievement and the most important thing about me. I have two great kids, no question.

Home life's great, man. The kids are great, happy and healthy. I've reached this sort of wonderful precipice.

At 27, it's great to get to a place where I'm not an actor for hire anymore.

A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.
