I don't expect success. I prepare for it.

I learned discipline from my father. Not in terms of corporal punishment, but being determined in whatever you do, and sticking with it.

There are guys I admire. Like Jimmy Stewart and - a more modern example - Tom Hanks. They managed to do it and have a really high standard for their work, but at the same time they remained incredibly classy and well-regarded personally throughout the process, which I thought was rare and kind of cool. And I'm trying. I try. I haven't thrown any TVs out the hotel window yet.

I'm the guy doing calisthenics. I'm doing jumping jacks and deep knee bends. I work out like a British person.

Character acting is a much braver pursuit than a guy who runs around and intermittently clenches his jaw muscles.

My father was swallowed alive by his own anus. It was a terrible way to go.

But if you do, then it's a high class problem to have. And if you do, you're the architect of that problem. There's no one else to blame but yourself. You've kept doing the same kinds of movies and that's what they want to see.
