I love the spy genre.
-
No matter how bad the individual, everybody has reasons for why they do what they do.
-
I'm sensitive, and I don't ever want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.
-
Those big films are scary things. There's so much money behind those things. There's that hype. You enter a machine.
-
I think it's a very healthy thing to learn from what's happened in the past. But only if you look at what happened and think, 'How could I have dealt with that differently?' Then let it go.
-
It's either 'Saw' made for $4 million or 'Star Wars,' 'Star Trek,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy' et cetera being made for $150 million. So the $30 and $40 million films don't get made unless they're maybe 'Ride Along.' But I don't really know why. I don't get paid to know why.
-
The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.
-
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
-
I usually just end up at home on my couch - reading.
-
'Me' time is just as important as 'us' time.
-
Generally speaking, the more money that's involved in anything, the more people are expecting and hoping that it's not going to fail.
-
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
-
You have to be able to carry a conversation. I think after the initial attraction kind of dies down. The lust dies down. There has to be the thing that engages you.
-
Dating someone on the opposite end of the happy spectrum teaches you an incredible amount of patience.
-
I have a romantic vision of the beautiful delineation between TV and film that existed for so many years. I romanticize the studio system and movie stars as a whole, but obviously that's just anachronistic and probably a non-reality.
-
I like to listen to French radio; I'm trying to learn French.
-
I think the western is about people in harsh places trying to tame an unfriendly wilderness. Because life is defined by struggle, it's kind of the perfect microcosmic experience to explore that. 'Here we are, struggling.' It's about people persevering and persevering and persevering.
-
One thing that I do find really sexy is a girl who's good at crossword puzzles.
-
I broke my finger in a stunt in a very not-too-romantic way. I was just trying to tackle someone, and I just flicked his forearm and then screamed in pain.
-
Uh, I do not wear a wig in 'Star Trek' like I did in 'Bottle Shock,' thank God. 'Bottle Shock' will be the last wig movie I ever do.
-
It's really interesting that, in 'The Avengers,' the character that people relate to is The Hulk, and I think the reason why they relate to The Hulk is because he's fragile and human and faulty.
-
After many years of self-flagellation, I've realised that beating myself up doesn't get me anywhere.
-
I work out because that's my job, but what I enjoy about it, beyond the vanity, is the Zen of it. I like getting out of my head, and one great way to do that is to sweat your face off. And to know that, if you're thinking of anything else, you're not working intensely enough.
-
For me, work is one thing, and my life is another.
