I've definitely been spoilt. Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.

I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.

I'm an actor because I love movies, and always have loved movies. I'm a film buff. So, getting to work with those kinds of directors and getting to tell those stories is what I want to do.

Basically, Beautiful Creatures was the first lead that I had since Tetro, and it was a lesson in seeing what it's like to film a movie that's of a much bigger scale. It was a good initiation.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

For me, the drive is storytelling. To be a part of an art that tells a story and to be a catalyst, a color in that, is very exciting.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

...Dreams come to tell us something about our lives that we are missing.

Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.

It is dismal coming home, when there is nobody to welcome one!

Film still looks way better than digital.

Men in power are always interested in greater power.

Absolutely eat dessert first. The thing that you want to do the most, do that.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.

That's okay, I'm still the Greatest.

Fun is just another word for learning.

You put two egos together and you've either got a conflict, which is always interesting, or better yet, a love affair.
