Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident... you know you have to do something about it because you know you're the only one that can really help.

I also realise power is fleeting, it doesn't last forever in this career, so I want to make the most of it. I want to make the kinds of pictures that interest me, it's as simple as that. I've never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn't do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.

When I first started out all the attention could be a bit unnerving, especially when people stared. Now I find the best thing is to just relax. Being recognized is just something you have to get used to.

As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, "This is what I love doing, and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever."

I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning.

I'm usually nervous to meet people that I admire because what if they're not cool or something?

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you're either going to sink or you're going to swim.
