I've got to watch my back, so I can't put on too much weight.
I'm kind of an idea guy.
I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.
Mania is a wonderful feeling.
With a labyrinth, you make a choice to go in - and once you've chosen, around and around you go. But you always find your way to the center.
I don't know how it is for women or for other guys, but when I was young and in my 20s, I had a fear of marriage.
Everybody loses a couple, and you either pack it up and go home or you keep on fighting.
I used to be somebody. Now I’m somebody else.
As you become famous you lose some of your anonymity, which is wonderful for an actor to have because you can observe people and also people don't have such a strong sense of who you are and that sort of thing.
I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.
I think there's a real joy in going to see movies when you discover them yourself.
You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.
There are some actors that want you to call them by their character's name and they have no relationship with you outside of the character. But I like to get to know who I'm working with so that we can relax together, and it's more fun.
Always maintain a joyful mind. Appreciate the struggles as opportunities to wake up.
