My wife and I really, really like each other as well as love each other.
Technically speaking, you can build anything out of sand; it doesn't mean you do it.
I never really think much about the size of a production because I think as an actor, once you're in it, it's all the same. I never ever pick projects based on their size.
The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.
The more I love the character, the harder it is to get it wrong. I have to get to a point that I can speak for them.
The most serious film can be the most fun. The one that's supposed to be fun can be the most serious.
If I read something and I love it, I'll do it and I don't even ask what the budget is.
The movies people don't talk about or remember after six months' time don't really matter.
The only thing that may make me different from other people is I have passionate interests outside of work.
The reason my kids come to the set is so I can actually see them.
I tend not to read the size of the production into a script when I'm reading it. It's just something you respond to or not and I do think it's very dangerous to say it's time now to do this or it's time now to do that.
When I go on the plane to fly home, I'm literally capable of forgetting what I do for a job. That also comes about because I choose to take massive breaks between projects, and because I choose to do this ridiculous thing of keeping home, home.
When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.
When you're shooting a film, you really don't get to be a dad, and you don't really get to be a husband. You don't really exist at all. But I do drag my family with me on location whenever I can.
