By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.

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.

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.

In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene.

It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.

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.
