Everything you do is different, and you find different chords in every character that you play that strike true with you.
Every film is exciting because I get new tools and cool new things to do.
You have Cameron Crowe write an incredible monologue for you just based on the things that you're talking about. It just became this opportunity that was too exciting a process to pass up.
I don't feel the obligation to be a specific weight. I don't feel like I have to fit into a body that's not my body. I have the body I have and I try to maintain it.
I don't profess to know how to balance the positive and the negative media attention. It's a gamble every time you put yourself out there, and, certainly, I'm always readjusting to it.
I never really thought about getting married - it just kind of happened. It seemed natural, the right thing to do. It was kind of a celebration of the time.
Every director is themselves; [they're] not playing a part.
I don't profess to know anything about marriage that anybody else doesn't know, or how to make it right. I don't want to read about somebody who's giving me relationship advice. So I try to keep some things for myself, to have a private life.
When I'm not working or promoting something, I try to be as under-the-radar as I can .
I hope it never becomes normal to feel scrutinized.
As a person in the public eye, I have always felt that if I have the good fortune of being able to shed a spotlight on different causes that I feel passionately about.
I want to look good, obviously. I don't want to look at the screen and go, Oh, my skin looks terrible, or, I look exhausted. That's why I take care of myself when I work....
I'm an actor for hire. It's important not to forget that you're disposable....When you have that mentality, you fight for the jobs you want.
I would never knowingly go into a film that I wouldn't pay to see, or something that didn't challenge me.
