I’m more cerebral than I want to be.
Even now, I’m better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves, the misfits.
I think the first thing that I saw on IMAX was ‘The Avengers.’ The scope and the size of it are pretty neat, I will say that.
One thing that I do find really sexy is a girl who’s good at crossword puzzles.
Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it’s one thing. I don’t have a lot of time to think about dating.
My grandmother was an actress too. In the thirties and forties she was under contract with Universal Studios. Crazy credits, lots of them. My dad was also under contract with Universal Studios. And my first film was shot on the same stage they both worked on at Universal.
Women think that men don’t talk about their feelings with guys. We do talk to friends about relationships, but it’s succinct – 10 minutes, then we move on.
My nipples could cut glass.
I work out because that’s my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you’re thinking of anything else, you’re not working intensely enough.
Not a fan of spiders. I saw the movie ‘Arachnophobia,’ which was single-handedly rated in the top three worst choices of my life.
My brain’s not sharp enough to come up with a witty comment.
I find it really hard to even read another script while shooting.
I had a job at this French restaurant, and I hated it. I don’t like serving; I don’t like getting people ketchup.
I don’t actually drive trains. I’m an actor.
I had horrible acne when I was a kid. I felt like a complete and utter ne’er do well and someone who didn’t fit in and wasn’t handsome. So, I understand implicitly, and with a great amount of empathy, a man or human being that feels that way.
Anybody who’s gone through puberty has understood what it feels like to be an outcast and alone.
When I was 18 I was an emotional wreck and I couldn’t imagine having to deal with some kind of fame.
I love the stories that have come before, that we know of. I think for me it’s always more interesting to start from square one and you take the fundamental pillars of the character and, around that, try to create something new and different.
I think it’s not fair to the uniqueness and wonderfulness of the individuals, that we can complement one another greatly, but we are not the source of each other’s happiness, especially if you don’t know who the hell you’re talking to.
We tell each other stories so we can understand the world better and there’s catharsis and we understand the models of what a hero could be and what the hero’s journey as a human being is all about. But unfortunately, I think sometimes those stories too can be very prohibitive and confining.
Programming isn’t about what you know; it’s about what you can figure out.
