I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they're nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those.

We started training a month before the movie started and then by five months in, we were at our peak shape.

Mathematically speaking, it seems impossible that there isn't life out our planet. If you flick on the news, it certainly seems like we have aliens among us.

I'm one of the most fortunate guys around,I still get to do those kinds of movies, and then I get to do Green Lantern, and I get to do Buried with an auteur like Rodrigo Cortés. I enjoy that I can get away with that.

By the time I came to L.A. I'd already cried on movies of the week with two of the women from 'Knots Landing'.

Honestly, I think it's dumb luck that I'm able to kind of get away doing different types of films in different genres. There's always a tendency to kind of stick with what works, or stick with one particular kind of brand or movie. But so far I've been getting away with it, so I'm going to continue to do that for as long as I can.

It's just that... working on Green Lantern, I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly - that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with.
