If you take my performance or my understanding of the role and my appreciation for story and then dress it in CGI, that I guess becomes an action film.

Career diversification ain't a bad thing.

Deal-making goes on with any job.

It was interesting to do a completely fictional piece. You know, Saving Private Ryan was not a fictional piece! So the challenge was: How do you incorporate real emotions? How do you incorporate aspects that people are going to be able to identify with?

I always felt that if I did the right thing, that if I trained hard and worked hard, I'd be rewarded somehow.

No, actors go out with actresses as a form of self-flagellation.

When I was seven, I had been very vocal about wanting to be an actor. And my mom decided that we would try it out for a couple weeks and come to L.A. from Sacramento.
