It's awesome to see something like 'Inception', which is just mind-blowing and amazing, and it actually resonates with the audiences. I feel like that's rare.
The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.
As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.
I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school.
I went to film school so I have a writing and directing background, and I think a lot of the material I'm interested in writing and getting out there is stories about anti-heroes and people you should just not ordinarily root for - trying to figure out a way of appealing to people they wouldn't normally appeal to.
So I just came out here to Los Angeles with a bunch of buddies I had gone to film school with. You know, for better or worse, we just tried to slug it out here.
In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they're cool, they get respect.
You know, a lot of those angry sort of Southern man characters that I've been doing are based on different people I might've had as, like, a soccer coach or as a teacher.
I had a classic gym teacher in junior high who wore a weightlifter's belt all the time.
I've always had the hair of Lionel Ritchie since I was a boy, but the mullet sadly is a hairpiece. My wife won't let me rock that hairstyle.
On a human level, people want to see someone succeed who wants to change.
Man, I'm just into Buddhism, and I'm at peace with the fact that me, as this person, probably gonna not be around. Think about a hermit crab, okay? And it's a shell. It's like, they go from one shell to the next. And that's what I am. I'm just a hermit crab changin' shells.
Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.
The whole experience of 'Eastbound' has been completely unexpected and super-surprising every step of the way.
