The only thing that I'm obsessed with is sleeping, and actually, it is more than an obsession, it is a pleasure.

There are movies where actors aren't characters but movie stars, being cool beyond belief throughout the whole movie. That is what it is. And we reveal ourselves when we act, very often without noticing. But if I can manage to do a character without showing anything of myself, then that's the ultimate goal for me. No leakage.

It was a great honor to be called a mo-fo by Sam Jackson.

I seek … the means to fight injustice. To turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.

I've always felt that I would rather see an actor, writer, or musician's work, rather than actually know the person. If you know too much about an artist, it somehow lessens their ability to do their work as well.

I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to.

The point of having a director is that they make the final decision it's their point of view, they set the rhythm and they make the final decisions.

I'm an actor I'm not a politician. I always kick myself when I talk too much about family, or personal things.

Whatever you do, do it completely. Don't do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.

I start from scratch with each movie I wipe the slate and I certainly don't rely on some bag of acting tricks I've amassed over the years.

I never applied to any acting schools. I don't know if that's just bad reporting, or - sometimes I just make stuff up.

Personally, I love going to see a film when you can really watch a character. If you've just read some article about who the actor is sleeping with, that's gonna be at the back of your mind all the time while you're watching the film.

Were all conning ourselves, one way or another, just to get through life.

I chose to tell a personal story. When you tell a movie like this that's as emotionally charged as this is, it's a risk. As one of my great cinematic heroes, Francis Coppola, would say, If you aren't taking the highest, greatest risk, then why are you a filmmaker?

If you're smart you're just gonna be all about the work. But as a young person, you want to going out to clubs and doing all the stuff. I'm just glad I survived it.

My hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message.

It was always that I finished one movie and then had no idea what I was doing. I think there's a limited amount of planning you can do, at least in the position I'm in. Maybe more successful actors can plan more than I'm able to.

I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played. They're all really far from who I am.

I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.

Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people have got to have their faith rewarded.

It's tough to make a good movie. I think the bigger the movies are, the worse they are. A lot of big movies make a lot of money and you kind of forget about what they are and they don't really make you think.
