I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.

I was a wayward kid, a rambunctious and angry teenager, but I found acting as a fifteen-year-old.

Although I get so much fan mail from Great Britain, tell me, am I more famous there than Michael Madsen?

I'm essentially a momma's boy with a good education.

I'm trying to reestablish my career and do great work and give my kids the life they deserve.

I know that 20 years from now if anyone asks me one question, it will be, 'What was it like to be in Saving Private Ryan?

I didn't come to Hollywood to drink or get high, and I don't want to be considered a cool actor - I want to be a great actor.
