I used to blame my problems on other people. But my moment of clarity, if you want to call it that, came when I was looking in the mirror one day and just burst into tears. It wasn't just that I looked bad, it was that I knew my problem was me.

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.

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?

Temptation is impossible for me to resist Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.

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

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

I shot a couple of movies in jail, but I was never in jail.
