In order not to hold a frame with someone, you have to be intimidated by them.
When I first started acting, I was just crap.
I never want to feel like I've achieved my goal. It's like Chinese farmers. They never admit that it's a good season. They feel like they'll be punished.
I apologize for my terrible interview skills.
I have a lot of great distractions outside of acting.
I thought, I need to be more cautious about my choices - it reflects on who I am.
I'm kind of addicted to moving.
In my opinion, New York City police officers are brave.
I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.
I feel like I've never been in a film that people have liked before.
I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices - it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath - someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts
Anyone that has a job that takes them away from home, I think, can understand the difficulties in maintaining consistency, not only with your family and those you love but with your friends.
I am not a public speaker and never will be.
I'm in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.
