Film is just a different version of what we did round the campfire when we were Neanderthals. We tell stories so people can learn things and relativise things.
From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there's a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.
I have no control over what people think, and if I were to spend energy on that, I would be a lifeless, deadened human being.
'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.
It's really interesting that, in 'The Avengers,' the character that people relate to is The Hulk, and I think the reason why they relate to The Hulk is because he's fragile and human and faulty.

At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
I usually just end up at home on my couch - reading.
The authentic experience, where is that? Living the moment. That is something that we're losing.
