Clint Eastwood enables and allows things to happen. You walk on some sets and it's like walking into an emergency room. It's like, Come on guys, we're just making a movie here. That tension runs into the performances and into the movie.

For a lot of actors, our biggest fear is that we're going to start talking about things we don't fully understand and sound like idiots.

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.

If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1.

I think Clint Eastwood is a well oiled machine. Everyone that works with him has the same reaction, Can I stay with you?

I believe a solid, really strong middle-class is the key to making the country in the best way.

Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.

Any moron with a pack of matches can start a fire. Raining down sulfur takes a huge level of endurance. Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer.

For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.

The values that I have are the values I was raised with, from where I'm from, which is a middle-class place. So that informs everything about me, my politics and all that stuff. I mean, politically, I vote against my own self-interest at every election. I actively ask these people to raise my taxes.

As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you youre just looking for work.

I started really young, like 12 or 13, and then I started doing school plays. We had a really good drama department, so the kind of drama-geek stigma wasn't really there in my high school.

It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.

If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role, whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.

Part of the American ethos is that you want to leave something better for your kids than you had and I know that my parents felt that way and I know that my grandparents felt that way and everybody worked hard so that their kids had a better chance. I just don't want to be the first generation that doesn't do that.
