To me the definition of true masculinity - and femininity, too - is being able to lay in your own skin comfortably.
It's pretty simple, pretty obvious: that people's first impressions of people are really a big mistake.
The only thing I do worry about is that the more films I do the more visible I am going to become as a personality because of press and because of the sheer quantity of films.
The search for the truth is not for the faint hearted.
Then I did Mystic Pizza, just to do something I wasn't fat in.
I guess I say this for younger actors out there: you have to be brave, and you have to be ready to fail, and that's the only way you can be unique. So when a director is confident enough in what they're doing, and they allow their actors to be brave and bring in stuff, the more likely it's going to work out okay.
When I did 'The Cell' - no matter what you think of that movie, because I have my opinions of it too - it was, you know, I still have nightmares from the research that I did. Not from playing the part, just from the research.
I've never tried to be something I'm not.
It's like why people read scary books or go see scary movies. Because it creates a distance. They're scared, but they're not going to get hurt.
The most fun you can possibly have as an actor is to walk that line between what's real and what's interesting.
If you try to go beyond your interests just for the sake of pretensions or wealth, your art becomes less legitimate.
When I was younger I used to pick things just to face the fear.
Our show is different, because it's not about law and order, it's about psychology, the intent of somebody.
Until I got 'Full Metal Jacket,' I was doing Off-Off-Broadway plays with three people in the audience.
The thing about Marvel is that they're not - they're into real acting. They're looking for artists that are willing to take chances and are willing to create characters. Even if that character has been around for years and years in comic books, they still are depending on us to create something and take it somewhere else.
I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.
When you look at people, you should look at more than what you see on the surface; you should try to find a soul.
Evil changes everybody!
I'm a character actor, and I made a choice when I was young, after 'Mystic Pizza', not to go for the mainstream stuff, and to do a more eclectic kind of route.
It doesn't need to be a number one show, it just needs to be good.
