I was single-minded on what I wanted to do since I was like nine or ten.

Everyone is so preoccupied by youth. People talk about how the movie business is a microcosm of the bigger picture, or life imitating art, but the business is guilty for getting women out of the way.

I think anytime you can affect people in general, in a positive way, then you're a lucky individual.

The opportunity, number one, to work with Ang Lee is an amazing thing for me.

I love the fact that I'm having an opportunity to make people laugh and you actually get to hear it.

I'm a four star general in this thing, and you don't rise to the ranks of a four star general by hanging about the house being the perfect dad.

I'm picky, very picky. I wanted to be an actor since I was nine years old, and I figured that was only one way to ever have any longevity, and that's to be careful about what kind of work you do.
