If you have a dishonest moment, you're going to lose the audience. So I had to not only light myself in the scenes.

When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

I like doing the mainstream, right-down-the-pike broad comedies as much as I like doing the kind of unorthodox different stuff.

My very worst day on 'Green Lantern' was nowhere near as difficult as my finest day on 'Buried.'

When I first moved to Los Angeles I came down there on a wing and a prayer in a way. I had about six weeks worth of money to make it there and that was just from doing a couple of episodes of the X-Files just to finance that trip. I got there and it is either you got to hit it or you got to go and, thankfully, I found a job.

It's funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I've had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it's just because they don't behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power.

I have bullshit moments every once in a while - like every actor does.
