“I've never been a planner. I'm not a guy that sits and plots his career.”

“I'm one of those actors who says, 'Point me to the right kind of role and I'll do it.'”

“I'm not a big 'cry on the shoulder' person. I'm very introverted.”

“Acting is a tough business, and you have to be tough to survive it.”

“There's nothing more boring than a character that's just a good guy.”

“I have a very matter-of-fact acting style.”

“My wife is the most wonderful woman in the world, and my girls are the most important things in my life.”

“The thing about being an actor is that you're in the service of the story.”

“I don't think you can be a good actor without being a good listener.”

“It's a big thing to be a parent. It's a big thing to be a husband.”

“I'm a great believer in not over-thinking things.”

“The best thing about being an actor is that I get to be a kid again.”

“I'm not going to be one of those actors who is going to be on a chat show talking about my kids.”

“The sexiest thing about a woman is her vulnerability.”

“The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for actors.”
