I love the human mind.

I actually didn't read the book [Fast Food Nation]. I wasn't aware of it. But when I read the script, I thought "Wow." It became a project that was just so exciting to be a part of. Maybe a few times in a career [you] get a chance for a role that really means something, and this was it.

As an actor, you should be willing to take challenges.

You do some things and you just hope people will laugh.

It was very interesting [book Fast Food Nation] because all my friends who were in college, [and] this book became almost mandatory for them to read.

For me, honestly, I'm an actor. There's one thing I know how to do - act. And that's all I know how to do. Through our work, [actors] can trigger awareness.

I think at some point you have to empower others and really allow everyone else to do what they're hired to do and what they're brought onto the team to do.
