Buried is the strangest film I've ever done. I'll be the only person in the movie. So, I'm still trying to figure that out. I have a short but impactful amount of time to figure that out and that's all I'm doing when I get home. I won't bury myself, of course... that would be a sad end! And then the plan is to do Deadpool after that.
When I'm not training for a movie, it's more relaxed. I do a lot of running. Usually I'll run four to six miles about three times a week. You try to eat right, but you don't always.
I learned early on to abandon all those preconceived notions you have about other actors and it's served me really well. I usually just try to empty my mind of that. I love meeting actors and I love working with actors.
There are guys I admire. Like Jimmy Stewart and - a more modern example - Tom Hanks. They managed to do it and have a really high standard for their work, but at the same time they remained incredibly classy and well-regarded personally throughout the process, which I thought was rare and kind of cool. And I'm trying. I try. I haven't thrown any TVs out the hotel window yet.
My career has been an inch at a time.
It's very tricky to throw a morally flexible character onto the screen and have an audience empathize. It's always an exercise in restraint.
It was comical because you're at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns.
A nicely fitted two-button suit is the best thing any guy can have. Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties.
I worked as a busboy in real life. I have some calluses that are not just from snacking at the actors' craft service table,
You know... I think I'm getting a little coldsore come on... so maybe we shouldn't do this for 3 to 6 weeks?
I don't know where this is coming from; I've never played 'the game,' ... I did hear rumblings that some of those guys were out there, you know, flashing their gear. Whatever turns your crank, that's what I say.
My foot peg just clipped him a bit. I'm not worried about his car - it was like, I was a foot peg away from death. But all's well that ends well. I'm still alive
We talked to everyone to work the problem and tried to stay calm and cool. It feels good to have something you train so long for go well. You just never think this is going to happen to you.
I had to wear that suit, so I put in my required time in the gym. But I'm not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now.
