I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.

I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again

The human condition is all about us pretending to be something sometimes that we're not. When you get into the core of people kind of stripping all of that away, that's for me, as an actor, always the most fun stuff to do.

I only worked on Men of Honor for three weeks, but I walked away with so much. Because Bob is the kind of actor who gives you the opportunity to really go there. And we really had to go there. I mean, we were both playing drunks.

I love the idea of longevity in this career. But [producing] is not about, Let me do this because this might happen 20 years down the line. Sleepwalking wasn't a vehicle for me, it was a film that pushed the ­envelope. I want to produce good stories, versus creating a niche where I can look after myself as an actor.

Right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights. I have so many friends who are gays and lesbians who would so badly want to get married, that I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself [if I got married before they could].

You can shave your head, but I've had to gain a lot of weight for movies, I've had to drop weight really fast for movies. I've had to learn accents or embody physical behaviors or twitches and things like that. And sometimes you take to some things easily and sometimes [not]. That's the challenge of the job.

My mother is one of those very unusual, superb human beings-she's innately strong and incredibly smart. She created an environment for me to explore who I was.

If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.

Well, life is dark. We live in a very dark world. When they call them dark films it annoys me, because they're very real stories. They're stories I have seen or experienced or witnessed, and coming from that place, that is the hope of humanity.

I think writing a book with film in mind is a way to write a really bad books. You can usually tell those books that are packaged to become films.

I think there is a part of me that's always a little bit like, Why would I torture myself? Just in case you forgot how big the shoes are you're walking in, take a look again. Like, I think I pussy out. So, I'm not that kind of person.
