It's hard to not get typed in Hollywood. They really want to type you. I'm trying to avoid that, because I want to do a lot of things. I know what I'm capable of. I forgive them because they don't know. They haven't seen me play Hamlet. They're not going to cast me as an English aristocrat. I'm going to have to prove that on my own. That's okay. That's what you have to fight for if you want to be an artist.

I have a constant sort of melancholy approach to acting that fuels me. I want to do everything.

An editor is like a painter. There is a magic in that.

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while, and now she's a painter.

I copied everything I did in Galaxy Quest from Bill Paxton in Aliens, I owe him some credit.

I sometimes can't do movies just for the money. I really can't. I mean, I've tried. Believe me, I'd love to just take the money and run.

Good acting is good acting, however you learn it. Some people who haven't studied are amazing. Some people like Leonardo DiCaprio are naturally gifted - he's learned technique by working with people early on.
