There was a time - before I made movies - when I was more forgiving, but now that I've learned as much as I have, I want to do movies that I want to see, that have their own unique flavor.

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.

To be more involved and more aware is appealing to me.

The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.

I learn so much more in an ensemble movie.

But I'm not particularly comfortable around guns.

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.
