I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.

I've gone out of my way to not take baggage with me from film to film.

I'm not locked into playing one guy.

I wish I were more disciplined.

I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.

Sometimes, you can not click with somebody, and it can feel awkward.

Movies are very subjective.

If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship.

I'm also working closely with a group called the Amazon Conservation Team, helping with the rainforest in South America.

Like most kids, you don't want to do what your folks want you to do. You've got your own thing.

Life is having its way with me now. And I'm really pleased.

You know, ballet might be too formal of a title for the type of dance I do, but I love to dance.

One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.

I like to think of myself as a character actor, though there's some redundancy in that.

I don't really care about having more fame than I have.

Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.

Fame really works against actors, in a way, because our anonymity is a wonderful thing for us.

I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.

My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.

My mother and my father were very nurturing and wonderful examples of how to live your life.

I do my best to hold the director's opinion above my own.

I kind of quit surfing when I got out of high school, but then a few years ago I started to take it up again. I'm not an expert by any means, but it's so wonderful to get out in the ocean and get a different perspective on things.

A fella who accepts himself and is relaxed into who he is - that appeals to people.

I want to have all of my faculties.

We love things that are convenient.

My mom wasn't a movie star.

I hate it when there's a good movie, someone overhypes it and I'm disappointed that I don't like it more.

I never read reviews of something I want to see.

The Oscar nomination is great. It's a great pat on the back. And I like that.

I'm kind of an idea guy.

Generally speaking I would say I enjoy the smaller films more because there's a less sense of pressure and often the material is more unusual.

I haven't been to Comic-Con.

You know, it's kind of a shame in a way but the more seasoned directors a lot of times have more difficult getting a job than first time guys. New kid on the block kind of thing.

I'm a pretty basic surfer.

I'm a longboard guy.

My website's kind of fun for me. I get to do drawings on that. It's kind of fun.

As far as 3-D goes, I don't know if that will stay very long because things are moving so rapidly.

I like people.

I'm light and airy.

It's funny. You succeed, but now where are you gonna go from there? I've got to keep proving that I can laugh or cry more real each time.

I'm not real good at romance.

Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.

I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.

Life's picking up speed.

I don't really think in career terms.

Tightness gets in the way of everything, except tightness.

So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.

I've worked with a lot of kids, and when you're working with kids they have certain hours that they have to work.

I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.

Directing takes a lot of time.
