Any actor should be grateful if he’s remembered for one movie in their lifetime.

I think as an actor you’re lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it’s left the theater.

The experience you have making the movie is all you have; when the movie’s finished, that’s for other people. But while you’re doing it, that’s your time on the planet, so you want it to be good.

I’ve been doing some writing, which I find very cathartic and fun.

I feel like if a film is well-written, then the character’s arc is complete. There really is very little room to expand on that afterwards.

I like to have a good experience. That’s all you have.

If you get into the area of judging the character you’re playing you’re getting into a sticky area.

I think that’s all you can hope for as an actor when you read a script; that after the first thirty pages it has some meaning to it.

The visceral experience of seeing a movie in three dimensions, coming at you in the theater, is obviously here to stay, because it is a unique experience. I think that kind of format is only appropriate for some genres, but I’m all for it.

It’s true in life, as in the movies, that the greatest highs are often followed by the lowest lows.
