I have a penchant for playing God's clowns. Actually, I played Nijinsky once, and he used to call himself God's clown.

I love scenes that are just emotional give and take. By the same token action sequences are great to do. They have their own unique demands and requirements. So I take it as it comes and hopefully you can get a good balance of all of that stuff.

As you get older, stuff starts to wear down. I can't play four basketball games a week anymore. It takes me three days to recover from one. I'm a little older, a little scrappier. So now I do yoga instead. And whatever else happens in the day, I'm set up in the best way possible. I feel great. I'm so flexible.

You can play anyone if you're open enough. It's a form of possession. Each time you work on something, you allow yourself to be possessed by creating the environment for it. Then you allow the possession to happen - but not at the expense of your sanity or of your identity.

I wouldn't say 'Avatar' changed my life, but it definitely changed my career.

When Steven Spielberg comes calling, it behooves you to seriously consider it.

You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.
