Even The Simplest Choice Can Make A Jaw-dropping Difference In Our World.

I Don't Think Anybody's Mind's Gonna Be Changed.

I Start At Square One With Every Role. If I Let Myself Feel Pressure, It Would Crush Me. The Truth Is That Everyone Pays Attention To Who's Number One At The Box Office. And None Of It Matters, Because The Only Thing That Really Exists Is The Connection The Audience Has With A Movie. Sometimes That's A Palpable Thing, But Other Times It's Not. No Actor Has Control Of That. All You Can Control Is Your Own Passion For Doing The Work In The First Place.

I Don't Parade My Family Out For Display, Which Is The Way It Will Stay. Yet I Have A Reputation For Being Cooperative With The Press. That's Because When I Do Give An Interview, I'm Willing To Tell The Truth About What I Do For A Living And How Goofy It Is Sometimes - And How Volatile It Can Also Be.
