Yeah, I loved Ray Bradbury.
Yeah I loved, as a kid growing up, I loved science-fiction.
Work takes me away from my wife, Sue, and my life in Santa Barbara.
Whenever you're the child of a famous person, you get judged in odd ways because of that.
Well, there are all kinds of gutters. Life will supply you with gutters.
I've never been motivated by the award thing. There's a certain thing that this fame thing does that makes my job harder, in a way. I'm still working with that. I don't think about it too much until somebody asks me a question, and then I think about it.
Most cynics are really crushed romantics: they've been hurt, they're sensitive, and their cynicism is a shell that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them that's still alive.
As far as 3-D goes, I don't know if that will stay very long because things are moving so rapidly.
Any role that big is going to be a challenge for any actor, but for an actor of a young age, it's going to be even tougher.
A fella who accepts himself and is relaxed into who he is - that appeals to people.
Yeah, I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer.
If you're like me, I get hooked into to-do lists, you know. I'll say I checked that off. Okay, I did that. And you have all these things you're doing.
Kevin Bacon and I recently worked on a move together, R.I.P.D. Just before we'd begin a scene, when all of us would feel the normal anxiety that actors feel be- fore they start to perform, Kevin would look at me and the other actors with a very serious expression on his face and say: "Remember, everything depends on this!" It would make us all laugh. On the one hand, it's not true of course, but on the other, everything does depend on this, on just this moment and our attitude toward this moment.
