Actor

I never wanted to play the short game.

I went through a lazy period.

If you're a dope like me, you get every sports channel you can get. I'm watching, you know, Netherlands soccer.

There are very few jobs where you're held up to public scrutiny.

Day to day and doing the work and getting to that honest point - that, for me, is always about - and always will be as long as I do this - refining and refining and refining and refining the truth... constantly being as truthful and honest and raw and real as you can be.

My work is distinct and definitive and specific, and hopefully it is so that every single character is different, and they are - but there's probably an underlying element that's me.

I still really like newspapers. I'm gonna feel really sad when they go. Or not - maybe I'll be dead.

I was raising a child full time, sharing the responsibility with his mom. He lived with me half the time, so I chose not to go away and make certain movies.

I reached a point where I didn't think I was that great. I'm not being humble. I was looking at things and thinking: 'You're not really good in that'. I think I was becoming boring as well as bored. It was nobody's fault except mine - probably - and it might not even be my fault.

I've changed my diet a few times. Now I'm trying to eat more protein. I eat little meals throughout the day. I love food, so I still give myself great meals. Also, when I'm busy, it's easy to lose weight.

I'm in a business that invites narcissism, self-involvement, and egos being blown out of proportion.

Weirdly, for someone who wanted to be funny, I didn't like a lot of attention.

I think one reason I really like women and like working with women is because of my sisters.

Will Ferrell makes me laugh a lot when he gets out there and gets crazy.

From the time I was a kid, I was crazy about anything having to do with the West. I'd look at all of these photos of Montana, and they all seemed so magical and majestic. I just wanted to go west, and I finally did it when I was barely 21. I went off to volunteer at a Navajo reservation in New Mexico.

I always knew the way in was Bruce Wayne. It wasn't Batman. It was never Batman. That was the key.

There's this thin line between knowing something is going to be really hard and saying, 'Yeah, you know, but I still gotta see if I can pull it off.'

If I didn't do 'Batman,' 'Birdman' wouldn't have happened.

I'm just shocked at how blatantly shallow people are sometimes.

Anyone can be a celebrity now; this is not a big deal anymore.
