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.

I'm not the most talkative guy in the world.

Everyone's really lazy in L.A.

I would take William H. Macy as a teacher any day of the week. He's incredible. He's got a lot of hard-earned experience.

The Native American side was tragic. It's just unbelievable what has happened to them.

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

Whatever labels are being pinned on me have nothing to do with me.
