You know, I’m not really any good at working out when people are flirting with me. And I think I’m too flirtatious with people I’m trying not to flirt with! What I am good at is making people feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to but it always ends up happening!
I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!
Ever since Poltergeist terrified me when I was 12, I can’t watch horror films, I’m a real wuss.
I like movies about people and movies with characters; that’s what I’m drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.
I’m not limited by genre and it doesn’t really matter what the genre is as long as the film is going to be new and have some real artistic integrity.
I admire when people take the harder path, not because they are masochistic and want to beat themselves up, but because you actually kind of learn more and I think you grow more.
I’m not really a tourist attraction kind of guy.
I’m always trying to find something unique or a project that I can do something unique in.
I think vampires have gotten maybe a little bit silly in the last years where they’re all wearing crushed velvet and reading poetry and making sweet love to their victims, you know, it’s not really all that scary.
If everything is going well in my life then I start to read the papers more and I start to worry about everything I can’t deal with. They say wisdom is knowing what you can fix and what you can’t change. I’m very unwise.
I’m a lot older than my little brothers and sister, so I think I grew up babysitting them.
I spent my entire first pay cheque from ‘Cracker,’ a TV show on ABC, on an Audi because my other car broke down and I needed to get to work.
I think that just your tastes change as you get older and I think they’ll continue to change.
We made 16 episodes of Cracker and I loved doing the show, but unfortunately no one was watching us.
Life isn’t what it’s like in the movies.
We’re all on a journey. The average American switches professions four times. I’m lucky to be in a business where I can change the character I am playing every couple of months.
I do a lot of weird movies that maybe you don’t like and I experiment a lot but maybe I do appreciate the process and I think my greatest joy in this business is that I have had the ability to screw up in a lot of really interesting films!
