I always think I could play a fantastic psychopath. I'd like to play a psycho. With a heart, you know. A caring lunatic.

I was an amazing bartender and a great waiter. I think, in a way, that was my acting school.

I think some people see me as being some kind of lovable, bumbling buffoon, and I'm actually quite mouthy and sharp, and that doesn't compute.

If you think about America, it is about getting your backpack on and heading out.

I like to think I'm some savage realist.

Eight years ago, I was a waiter, and I didn't have a pot to piss in. And now...? It's like I said to my wife: I love the fact that, if I was in a restaurant and Steven Spielberg walked in, I could go up to him and say, 'Hey, mate, how are you?' I think that's pretty amazing, actually.

I'm sure people would argue this, but I want to be different in everything I do. I don't think I've been the same in anything I've done, and I want to keep that up.
