I guess I've always wanted to push the boundaries as an actor.

I started off as an actor thinking that I would be this Romeo, this dashing leading man. It turns out that I’m a character actor.

Well, I’ve never been in a touring rock band, it was all just high school and college, playing toga parties in frat houses.

It’s great to play a rock star. Maybe not so great to be one.

There are so many things that have to go right for a movie to be good that it’s a miracle whenever one is.

As far as my notoriety or whatever, I haven’t been the star of a hit film.

You have to be in movies that make money to be offered work. Basically that’s the equation. There’s no real way around that. That said, you don’t ever make decisions solely for that reason.

There are so many factors that go into how you feel, as a performer, on any given movie, that it’s really hard to identify which things are the things that help you be good, and which are the things that hinder you.

I’ve never felt that I’ve had some great fashion sense of my own – I tend to wear what my wife tells me to wear.

The research period of a film is the most exciting part of the process, and filming is sometimes a letdown because when you’re dealing with biopic material, the real thing is always much more intricate than the story told in the film.
