There will always be people with disabilities. And by my estimation, the scorecard for the way we take care of those who need our help the most, those at the very bottom of that safety net, is pretty dismal. And that has to change.

I'll tell you this about the Oscars - they're real.

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.

So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.

I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.

Here are the good things about independent films: They do the more interesting, chancy scripts. They're run by love.

So much of the violence in the movies is b.s. violence: A guy in the middle of a large city with 14 people lying on the ground that he's just killed with his superhuman powers, and there's not a cop to be found. Not a siren to be heard. No price to be paid. That's not true, and I don't like that sort of stuff.
