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

The idea of doing something that you've seen a thousand times before doesn't appeal to me.

People keep trying to make me a movie star but they just don't understand. I'm not a movie star, I'm an actor.

The idea of being in a hugely successful movie that I don't like would be just as bad as being in a film that I love that no one sees. I wouldn't want the kind of success that felt cheap or that I didn't own.

Over the past 10 years of being famous, my relationship with the camera has not been a pleasant one.

I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.

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