Now, coming back and doing these films, I really am just trying to be careful about the quality of the project. Really cautious.
One of the big things at the press conference was that people didn't want the accents to end up like 'Fargo,' which they felt were an exaggeration, ... We were all real conscientious of trying to get it right and the person in charge of getting the dialect right was amazing. We tried to be subtle.
I try not to spend too much time with regret, although I wish I'd had more hang time with my dad.
I try to apply the organic concept to my clothes and bedding as well. There's nothing like swimming in organic cotton sheets.
With 'Rampart,' I read it and I'm like, 'That's the best role I've ever been offered. Phenomenal.' But, I was daunted, you know? Like the concept of trying to be a cop. It's just bizarre, man. Bizarre to even think about.
Everything I do, I try to think, 'Okay, what are the ramifications?' Like, with the clothes I wear, I prefer if it's grown organically, because cotton - which is what's used in most clothing - takes up 50 percent of all pesticide use.
Individual action is the most important thing. Individual action in concert, maybe with a lot of other people. It is an exponential growth.
I'm probably pretty much cut all the way out of that, but I don't mind. I don't mind, I just did a little part.
I'm one of those actors who is going to come in with 2,500 ideas. You can shoot down 2,499, but one of them you're going to like.
I'm the only guy in my family, including our cats and dogs. I'm surrounded by these amazing women, and I have concerns about what happens to them in the world,
It's very intimidating, ... The white gloves. . . .
I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus - I was constantly blowing my nose. Then one day, this woman sits down next to me on a bus, and says, 'You're lactose-intolerant.' It all cleared up in three days. That changed my life. Doctors couldn't figure it out.
And then going and just hanging with my family for a long time and living the life of Riley, I think was the best thing I could've done.
Bur I think all the environmental groups have to focus on at least one main issue together. That's the move we need to do right now.
