I feel it's important to show that one thing that you do doesn't define you as a human being. It doesn't mean there aren't ramifications or you shouldn't pay for that but, its not who you are.
Parents' tolerance of violence is so different to their tolerance of sexuality. If violence is involved in the sexuality it's somehow perceived as entertainment, but if love is involved with sexuality it's seen as pornographic and is not acceptable.
If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that's what you hope.
I don't think anyone can teach you how to be a man but a woman. You only learn by learning what they need.
The problem with Hollywood is that nobody works. They have meals. They go to Pilates. But it's not enough. So they do drugs. If everybody had a pile of rocks in their backyard and spent every day moving them from one side of the yard to the other, it would be a much happier place.
If you're making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.
You know how sometimes department stores have these things where, if you win, you get 10 minutes to go in and take anything you want from the store? That's basically what I'm doing. I'm running in and just trying to grab as many characters as possible before they pull the plug on me.
You know us crazy kids. We'll do anything crazy to our hair.
In New York, you're forced to deal with life; it's there in front of you on a daily basis.
I try not to discriminate against genres.
I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.
I think we just knew that we had a movie when Rachel walked in the room.
I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you're playing.
If I have any particular appeal to women, maybe it's because I listen more than other guys do and appreciate how they think and feel about things.
