My dad was also a teacher until he was 34. I think there is a basis in reality. But I'd only done two jobs before I was an actor. I worked in a petrol station and I worked in a supermarket.

Conventionally handsome is not really where I'm at.

We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.

My favorite movie is 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'

Burdens are for shoulders strong enough to carry them.
