I've just done a movie - Albino Alligator - with Viggo Mortensen, who's an actor I idolize. He influenced me in a way that has helped me move toward getting lead parts instead of supporting parts, merely through his presence. So now I tell everyone, as a joke, that I'm entering my Viggo Mortensen phase.

Everyone's really lazy in L.A.

My mom's been married three times; my dad has been married a lot. I didn't really see my dad that much.

The more you understand me, the less characters I can play.

I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin, especially when people start questioning me.

Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative.

I think people could justify labeling me if they saw a pattern in what I do, but right now that's impossible.
