character sides convincing
I always find that I have to be emotionally on my character's side for it to be convincing.
character interesting looks
I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire.
character weekend bored
I get bored with the same old film coming out every weekend. It feels like it's the same story all the time, and the same visuals, and the characters' dilemmas are remarkably similar.
couple character journey
We're all on a journey. The average American switches professions four times. I'm lucky to be in a business where I can change the character I am playing every couple of months.
growing-up character men
I just think of interesting roles to play. I guess that I have matured, I guess growing up and becoming a man, your taste in characters changes and I think I have become more interested in active characters as I have become less contemplative in my personal life. Things have become a little bit more interesting in the doing these days and less interesting in the thinking about the doing.
character people likes
I like movies about people and movies with characters; that's what I'm drawn to as a person who likes to create these characters within the story, but I like it all, really.
action brave complex everybody heroic hollywood hurt movies suit trying
Everybody was trying to put me in action movies and heroic roles, and I wanted to find more complex things. They just didn't suit my taste, so I thought, 'OK, I have to be brave enough to say no.' And for a while, that hurt me immeasurably in the Hollywood world.
certain check computer itunes limited
My abilities on the computer are limited pretty much to iTunes and YouTube. I check my email as much as anybody, but I'm more old-fashioned in a certain sense.
director good heard interested piece talk trying
When the director has a vision for a piece that I've never heard before, and they can back that up with visuals, and they talk a good game, I get really interested in the world that they're trying to create.
asked eating girl great prom
I was eating burritos with this girl and she asked me to be her prom date. How could I say no? We went and had a great time.
basically classic coolest fun guy homemade sells trunk
I play Zeke, who's the coolest guy in school. He's super-smart but a classic under-achiever who opts out and sells homemade drugs from the trunk of his beat-up car, and basically has fun riling all the teachers.
caught gives
Not living in L.A. gives me a different perspective. I'm not so caught up in the daily process of self-congratulations that's out there.
break heart rather
I'd rather have my heart broken, than break one
love york
I don't love L.A. I love New York and Minneapolis, so if I have a choice I'll stay in those places.
