I love playing a villain. I think that there's something freeing about that, and it's a different kind of challenge. More than anything, for me as an actor, it's about challenging myself and doing as many different things as I can.
I think, as Ive gotten older I have realized what a huge privilege it is to even be in this business. I, more than ever, love what I do.
I'm not a fan of horror. I don't think a proper horror movie has been done since The Shining.
Certainly I think being an absentee farther helps in adding a layer of conflict.
As a matter of fact - it'll probably ruin my movie career - but I think better storytellers are in television.
There were rumors I wasn't going to die. The whole cast was sitting around the table reading the script. I fell on the floor - I'm not kidding. I looked up at Katherine Heigl, and she was crying.
The last decade has been a little rough, so I'm hoping to start this one on the right foot.
The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play.
I don't know that I feel comfortable playing a villain; as a matter of fact I probably don't feel comfortable, which is why I like it so much. It's just an opportunity to try something different.
I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.
I can't say enough about Ireland. I can't. I'd move there.
The work I'm doing on 'Watchmen' is mind bending and physically just hard.
Working exterior nights in Vancouver, when it's raining and snowing, is a little daunting, when you haven't slept.
I just didn't want to get bored playing a character, and that's kind of the benefit of doing films; you've lived with a character for four or five months and that's it, and you walk away from that character and you feel like you told a story.
