I grew up going to school and high school and then shooting a movie for a few months. It's an odd way to grow up and is kind of forced maturity.

It's like, to me, acting is like a child walking in the park, the better the actor, the greater the playground he has.

I’d say a man is someone who is honest, strong-minded, moral, genuine, just a good human being.

I would add a little more love in the world. It's ridiculous, I know, but it is one thing I would do.

Fun. I'm not the kind of guy kids picked on in school, but I've seen it happen. I've never really given much thought to being cool. I don't really think about it one way or the other.

I just want to make sure I'm contributing good films to movie history rather than being famous just to be famous.

One day, I'll stop making weird faces in pictures. But not today.

My whole family is in orthotics and prosthetics, so I grew up having to check for scoliosis every week. 'Come over. Let me feel your spine.

Life is a rollercoaster ride and I don't intend on being the one screaming and hanging on for dear life.

I don't really look around and say, 'I've made it.' I just look around and think how fortunate I am to work with the people I'm working with.

I want to be a good actor more than anything - someone you can respect.

You are afraid of it because it is stronger than you you hate it because you are afraid of it you love it because you cannot subdue it to your will. Only the unsubduable can be loved.

Know your enemy, but don't give him all your energy.

In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.

Pity speaks to grief more sweetly than a band of instruments.

I'm not Michael Moore. I think Michael Moore wants to tell you how to think. He wants to give you answers. I make movies to raise my own personal questions and not to give answers.

I never wear mascara; I laugh until I cry too often.

My first acting class was taught by a little known playwright, David Mamet, who then cast me in my first play, opposite John Malkovich.

True genius does not fulfill expectations; true genius shatters it.

Virgin me no virgins! I must have you lose that name, or you lose me.

I was fascinated looking at John Galliano's couture. They're just extraordinary extravaganzas and I love it. I love looking at it because it's like going to a museum.
