I think you have to be very secure as an actor to escape yourself - to revisit someone's past, whether you're portraying another person or creating someone, and then to come back to who you are and not bring those emotions with you.

I’ve really actually grown with my girlfriends and the people that they’ve introduced me to and the way that I’ve been welcomed in by their families. I’m a very, very lucky man.

I never knew that when you’re number one on the call sheet you have not only the responsibility of carrying the film but also the responsibility of keeping up the morale of the crew and cast.

I play a man who is obsessed with his own beauty, so it’s perfect casting.

What I really love, is finding a script and fantasizing and going to a different world and kind of portraying a character that is interesting. Because other lives interest us, that’s why we read magazines like People and try and fascinate and drool over what other people are doing.

I don’t categorize movies. I just look for great stories.

When you play a character it’s the persona you bring across from a book to film, or book to script to film. If I play Frank Sinatra, there’s gonna be things I do in a movie that Frank might not have done, but it’s the personality that comes across.

People ask me, “Why do you love making films?” and I always say, “Because I love film.” I hope that I can call myself a movie buff.

I never think about the next movie. I always think about the situation I’m in now, but you do think about an arc someone can go. I love Johnny Depp, I love ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ but I never wanted to play the same character over and over again.
