You want to be a part of something that is going to change history or make history or be bigger than yourself.

When you look at something that's so extraordinary, like a man who is traveling back in time to prevent JFK's assassination, for me as an actor, you're still trying to seed it in some sort of reality.

I think the mark of a good director is that they surround themselves with good people.

If you ever had anyone in your life who has been struggling with addiction or struggling with anything, it's about the resilience of love and how much you're willing to struggle with somebody to preserve your relationship and to try to preserve them as a person - and I think that's really important.

In my experience, directors who are the most comfortable with themselves and confident in their work give you and everybody on the crew the freedom and the space to create. It's the people who are more insecure who feel the need to control and micromanage.

I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career.

You have people who know you are competent enough to do your job and then you have the ones that just hover around.
