I think, strangely, a strip club can tell you a lot about the city you're in. If you call a strip club Tuna's, I've gotta go in there. Usually you're not seeing the top talent around, but it's not about that. It's about the experience.

I have a hard time saying no if it's right. I don't say no to say no. I said no when I didn't have a pot to piss in. I still said no to big money jobs because they didn't make creative sense to me.

Our friendship [ with Don Handfield] has remained all that time, and I'm godfather to his kids, but then when The Hurt Locker came around, I just knew there was a lot of opportunity that was coming in, and just couldn't really manifest any opportunities because things were busy.

I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.

I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure. And also, I think a lot about what kind of audience there is for the film, what they're looking for and ways to connect with them in the playing of a character.

I feel connected to that idea of wanting to belong to something, to have a sense of purpose as a man on the planet.

There are rumblings of Captain America 3. I don’t know what’s going to happen there. I’ve got to find the time, man. I’m trying to stay home and I can’t.

Architecture and building is about how you get around the obstacles that are presented to you. That sometimes determines how successful you'll be: How good are you at going around obstacles?

I like to play unpredictable characters, and I like to be unpredictable in what movie I'll do. I want to skip to work. I don't want to repeat anything. What the future holds, I don't know, but that's what I like. I'll take any risk there is.
