Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.
I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
What we really have to do is stop the adjective before the job title - whether it's 'black actor,' a 'gay actor' or anything actor.
My favorite actors are people who I don't know anything about, and I can project any character onto them.
There's always a need for new superheroes. As society changes, the types of superheroes will probably change as well.
To be honest with you, my physical state is usually dictated by the project I'm working on at a given time.
I think every guy and girl would love to get to play Superman at some point in their life.
If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.
I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.
I really just try to focus on my job, which is to be an actor, and outside that, the cards fall where they may, and on not getting caught up in how people react to certain things. That's a death trap creatively.
I love that Amazon has this incredibly unique, diplomatic process where people's voices are heard, and we're using this great interconnectedness we have, via the internet, to weigh in and to have a say in what we want to see and what we don't.
I at least felt the obligation to speak clearly [in 'The last Tycoon']. This is pre-Brando and pre-James Dean. Nobody mumbled back then.
I very comprehensively studied Irving Thalberg and his biographies. He's who [Scott]Fitzgerald roughly modeled the character after. He worked for him, as a writer, when he was at MGM. And, of course, I revisited the novel and the politics of MGM and the studio system at the time and familiarized myself with the world. There was a great deal of physical and literary work that went into it.
I’ve been a con artist since I was 16 and trying to get my dad to buy me a car. I never succeeded, but I learnt a lot of tactics.
