I do a lot of ceramics.
I don’t really care about having more fame than I have.
I haven’t been to Comic-Con.
I really try hard not to work, not to engage, because I know what that means. What hard work it is; it takes me away from my family.
I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don’t want to do what your parents want you to do.
Obviously it’s fun to let yourself go and eat a pint of Haagen Dazs, but being healthy feels the best. Sobriety and health is the greatest thing.
There’s a bit of the kid in me.
I’d done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
I’m a pretty basic surfer.
I know how to dance with the wind, I can use its power by sailing this way, then that way, and again this way, till finally I get to you. With rowing, you’re working primarily with your arms and shoulders. But with sailing, you’re making bigger use of the wind and the waves.
I’m at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.
I’ve got to watch my back, so I can’t put on too much weight.
It gives me more breadth as an actor and as an artist to not be pigeonholed.
As you become famous you lose some of your anonymity, which is wonderful for an actor to have because you can observe people and also people don’t have such a strong sense of who you are and that sort of thing.
Pretend was a big part of my childhood.
We’re here for such a short period of time.
Well, I’m not a big sports fan.
You just have to work with your discomfort. It’s challenging, but you have to dance the dance that the band’s playing. You can’t say: “I came here to Cha Cha and they’re playing a Waltz, godammit!”
Well, when we made ‘Tron’ there was no internet, no cellphones.
I can see how a relationship with a writer would be an easy thing.
