When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

You should know the lines, be prepared, get sleep, and have the script analyzed so you're ready to rock and roll.

As an actor, early on, you learn that the audience is never wrong. And if you think they are wrong, you need to find a different way to make a living. Collectively the audience is smarter than you will ever, ever be.

Anyway, I try to be a good guy. I try to tell the truth, but I'm not religious.

Nothing else counts except what you want.

I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.

The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.
