I'm not a big wine guy. And bars, I never go to bars anymore. It's such a drag, man.
I'm clearly not Brad Pitt, and I'm never going to be Brad Pitt.
I was the youngest child and got a lot more freedom than my brother and sister. I used to wander, doing my own thing under the radar, but I didn't get in bad, bad trouble.
I still want to be the guy who can get on the subway and check out the freak on the subway.
I never thought I would have any particular career in movies at all.
I mean, I'm not going to play the hero of something.
I like to work - I probably work too much.
I like playing weird, kind of shady people.
I learned how to fire a sniper rifle, which I'm sure will be useful at some point.
I have the mentality of a supporting actor.
I get tired of myself pretty fast.
I don't think film actors need training, really.
I don't mind talking about acting. I don't have anything interesting to say about it, but it's interesting talking about it.
I don't mind being stereotyped in some way and playing certain kinds of guys, but if I can find something to occasionally get a break from that, that would be nice. And I feel like I manage to.
I don't consider myself a very interesting person. I have the mentality of a supporting actor.
I definitely have a tendency to only see the blemishes of things, and see lots of things about my acting that I don't like.
I definitely had a top-notch education.
I always would be happy to make a character even more unlikable, but you know, there's a limit and if you go there, you get into a very different kind of movie, man.
As an actor, to have achieved financial stability is amazing. But I always have this weird fear that I'm not going to get any more work; it's about not having enough money.
Am I really cool? You're telling me I'm cool? Well, that's good to hear.
Acting can be a really silly thing. It's like playing dress-up.
Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.
I suppose there must be some way in which I'm compelled to show some side of myself - or of people - that's paranoid and fraught and beleaguered and downtrodden, just as Tom Cruise wants to show that he's terrifyingly upbeat and terrifyingly heroic all the time.
You are absolutely free to describe me as a turtle or something.
I find that the crazy narcissists, the selfish loons are often the most fun to be around, weirdly.
