Actor

I think television's amazing, and I'm going to do more of it. I love it. I think it's a great place to be, but I'm still going to keep doing movies too.

There aren't any people aligned with me passionately.

If you're in scenes with a guy you know really well in a comedy, you tend to crack each other up too much.

People have made sure of that, that you can't shock anybody anymore. It's not just because of movies and TV. It's because of what's happening in the world.

I can't see myself being a television director unless it's for a two-hour movie.

I have type AB- blood, which is the rarest blood type. It's less than 1 percent of the whole population of the world, and it means that you don't have as many digestive enzymes.

Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.

You know, some people can't get past their past, I guess. I certainly haven't.

I love being an actor, doing it all. That's not exciting and controversial, but it's true.

I always have a guitar or ukulele in the trailer, and I write songs. That keeps me in an artistic mind-set.

If I hadn't gotten into the entertainment business, I would be probably making minimum wage still.

One of the greatest things about getting older as an actor is that you settle into who you are and you don't begrudge everyone else what they have.

Acting is playing - it's actually going out on a playground with the other kids and being in the game, and I need that. Writing satisfies that part of myself that longs to sit in my room and dream.

My dad didn't hug me every day and say he loved me and anything like that.

I don't have a fear of flying; I have a fear of crashing.

I'm a vegan who cheats - that's what I call myself.

I didn't have a burning desire to be a writer or director - writer probably more so, certainly not a director.

Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.

Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.

I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career, except for when I've worked with the Coen brothers.
