beings hold human leading man proves sensitive studio tough
I think it proves I can hold my own in a big studio movie, and I can play a leading man without making him a stereotypical leading man. We can be sensitive human beings in this world and be tough guys, too.
agreed braces entire knew ripped
So for the entire movie I had braces. I never knew what braces were like and I didn't know they ripped them off with pliers at the end, but I agreed to do that.

They wanted to give me prosthetic braces, but I said, 'No, let's get real ones',
bad gets media mom rap struggles
The media gets a bad rap sometimes. But my mom is a photojournalist, so I see how much she struggles and how under-appreciated she is.
beautiful girl humor lighter relationship
I'd like to do, you know, a lighter film with a beautiful girl and an interesting relationship developing. Humor and slapstick. It's all gravy.
advertising elements essential movies people reading stories whether
I think people go to movies and they know too much about the movie before they go into it, whether it's the advertising or they're reading too many stories about it. And they know all the essential elements of the film before they even go into it. And I think that sabotages a thriller.
changes character connection fall improvement lead likely love woman
When you're the one character that changes dramatically in the movie ... it better be a change for the better. I think it's an improvement on the past. It's a more likely relationship. A screenwriter would fall in love with the woman he's writing for, his lead actress. I think there wasn't really enough of a love connection on the first one.

My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years.
loneliness loss people
It made me have a much greater understanding of loss, of loneliness, and the level of intense tragedy that so many people have experienced in this world, I take a lot less for granted.
jobs thinking new-job
The normal routine is always the same thing whether it's on a new movie or a new job - there's always a process of getting to know one another. I think part of what makes movies special is that it is a relatively intimate environment and it's pretty short-lived - you get to know one another very quickly.
dedication focus acting
Film is a time capsule. If I have a lack of dedication or focus, it's permanently there as a negative reminder.
kindness littles attention
A little bit of attention and kindness can totally change a whole life, and a lack of that can do the same.
