Seriously, I would go in a second. I’d be the first actor in space and I’d love to do it.
Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.
I don’t care if you print something nasty about me. If it’s true, fine. I don’t care. But just make sure it’s the truth.
I’ve never made a film that I didn’t believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I’ve always given everything to it. That’s kind of how I approach life. I can’t help it. There’s no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.
It’s well known I’m a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it’s something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.
On film Vanilla Sky: You’re going to get the full experience of what love is.
Where do I get my seriousness? You can’t help but grow up fast when your parents get divorced. You see your mother go to get food stamps and she’s making fifty dollars too much to get them, with four kids to support.
When I first started out all the attention could be a bit unnerving, especially when people stared. Now I find the best thing is to just relax. Being recognized is just something you have to get used to.
But I think also you look at Scientology it is the fastest growing religion. It’s helped so many people.
Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe? Millions of stars, and we’re supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don’t know.
I believe in life. I know that life comes in at your heart and it doesn’t matter if you’re an actor, a filmmaker or a gentleman on the street, it comes at you. What Scientology gives me is the tools to deal with that, to better enjoy my life and to be able to contribute more.
Whether it’s making a film or raising my children, personally I’m striving to do the right things and to learn.
Individuals have to decide what is true and real for them.
I’m always around my mother and sisters. I always wanted to be a father, a husband.
When I’m promoting a film, I’m not going to get caught up in anything else, and that includes all my personal things.
I used to go to Maple Leafs games all the time when Nic shot To Die For here in Toronto. This is a great city. I love it here.
The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that’s why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It’s not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible.
I’ve had a very interesting life. There are ways of handling the complexities. I’m willing to take on the responsibilities as a father, as a producer, as an actor; and I enjoy that. I’ve always been changing and evolving and growing. There’s no pinnacle of power where you can sit back and relax.
Emotions kick up. You try not to kick things up, but you go through things you can’t help.
I didn’t become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities.
