What was frustrating about Armageddon was the time I spent not doing anything. It was a big special effects film, and I wasn't crazy about pretending I was in outer space. It feels ridiculous.

I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.

I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.

I guess I don't think about age too much. I've always felt older than I really am anyway. I'm not dreading getting older. I don't miss the anxiety of being younger and not knowing what you want or where you’re going.

Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.

Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.

I always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.
