To me, the more bizarre the character, the more I'm attracted to it,
The more ridiculous the character is, the more sincerity you have to bring to it.
I have always weirdly seen myself as more of a character actor. I have never been suave. I could never see myself playing James Bond. I suppose I could fake it, but I am certainly not James Bond in real life.
It's hard enough to just be a good actor. When you're on set, there's everything going against you. There are walkie talkies going off, the camera is creaking and moving, there are boom mics, and you have to hit your mark and make sure you don't shadow the other person's face. It's a really technical process.
Early in your career, you feel like there is a formula, a path you have to take. You have to do this movie because this person directed it and you have to be associated with these people. In some ways, I have thrown that out.
Boy, if Garth Ennis had created a religion, I would sure like to be a part of that. It just makes sense, the way he tackles things in it. It's really heavy stuff and it's incredibly well written.
Every time I read a script, I see the movie in my head, and I try to see the best movie in my head because everybody interprets the movie differently.
(The school district) without a doubt is a top reason people look at Warwick.
Oh, and Logan - stay away from my girl
As an actor, you always think your last job is your last job, and you're always doubting yourself and worried that people will see you're a fraud.
I've always loved watches my whole life. When I was growing up, I always thought of having a great watch as that next step - of making it, of a rite of passage.
I didn't want to go get a job or get a degree in business or marketing, or whatever all my friends were getting degrees in.
I am constantly hustling and finding new things. You try to manage so you don't look back and see huge gaps of time that you missed with your family.
I am starting to get into this whole idea of caring about what I wear. There was a time in my life when I could not care less about fashion.
