It took a delicate man to tell this story, and that's you.
I had such a great experience with Terry on The Brothers Grimm that I vowed I'd look for other roles and films that would challenge me and offer me roles I'd never tackled before. I really wanted to stretch myself as an actor.
I don't have that much forward planning about what I want to do next, or in the future.
I don't feel like I have anything to lose, so I don't really understand what I'm putting at risk.
Thousands of women were falling in love with him all the time. So when he finally finds a woman who isn't attracted to any of that, that's what really devastates him, and interests him.
Working in Venice was like a four-month guided tour of the city. It was like shooting a film inside a museum.
Don't let anyone ever make you feel you don't deserve what you want..
I like to set up obstacles and defeat them.
If you are just safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.
If you make decisions based upon people's reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.
Most of the time you don't even know they're there. Now, that's the scary thing. It's really strange and invading, but I'm still working it all out. I try to not let it bother me. And if I want to swim naked in my pool, I'm still going to do it. I certainly don't want to feel that I have to change everything in my life that I do to cater to them. I just won't let it happen.
There is no Yoda-there's no one who points you in the right direction. You've got to figure that out by yourself.
I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.
