The actor has the advantage - or the liability - of knowing, "It's going to be my face up there on the frickin' screen, so I better keep my wits about me. Nobody's going to care that I was bad because I was not happy. They're only going to know I'm bad."

If I like the story and it's well written, and it's a character I want to play and they'll pay me, then I decide to do it.

When a director makes a mistake, people suffer. People suffer horribly sometimes.

The emotions will take care of themselves. You don't have to prod them along. As a matter of fact, you get in trouble when you prod them along.

I loved Batman, don't get me wrong, but that kind of mindless violence is not good for young children.

I'm not religious. It's an issue, 'cause I've got two little kids, and I feel you can't grow up without knowledge of religion.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.
