Success can allow you to try for greatness, can give you an opportunity to take a chance on something. I'm very blessed to have the success that I've had, and that's given me so many opportunities to work on being great.
When I saw the first I couldn't believe I was in another great movie that would be made into a trilogy. This movie is quite visible and I think it will stand the test of time. I think kids and parents will love this movie for a long time.
I've never been a great one for technology.
I generally travel with my laptop, a couple of great books, and my iPod.
I'm sure I was a great disappointment to many women because I wasn't Errol Flynn. But I'm me. I think that's got some merit.
Think about finding out when you're 13 that your dad is not your dad. It's like, okay, take it on the chin and keep going. No choice, really.
The world throws you out of your body, especially the cyberworld.
There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco, ... A fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
Everybody thinks I'm very clean and sort of upright, don't they?
I've lived a very nomadic life, which I enjoy.
We'd worked together on a Gap commercial, so I guess he'd always seen me as a contemporary young guy, ... I was definitely on his mind.
Mark Ruffalo is just an amazing guy and an amazing director.
My mother's husband Harry Bloom was a writer, a novelist, a reporter, and an anti-apartheid activist.
My mother's husband died when I was 4, and I thought he was my dad until I was 15 and found out that my legal guardian was my real dad. He kind of acted like my dad, anyway. But he wasn't with my mother living at home with us. It's an unusual kind of story, but it was cool because I had two dads for a while, and it was useful in creating the character in the movie.
