I like flawed characters very much. A lot of times I get asked to do parts that are kind of small but key - three-scene roles that are three kick-ass scenes. Growing up, watching as many movies as I did, I was always into character actors like that. ”

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater. ”

I was an altar boy in an incredible monastery that was attached to a rectory. The theater of the church is the most incredible theater, and in this church, it was beyond. It was this huge monastery. It was landmarked. It's a beautiful building, and I kind of had the run of it. ”

I'm not very good in a classroom sort of setting. I never was. I was kind of a clown in high school - got suspended a lot. ”

I never thought I would get married and have kids. I thought I was going to be a gypsy actor, traveling all over the world playing the great roles. I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective. ”

I just want different parts; I wanna be that guy who people mention and they don't know who you're talking about until you say a few movies they've been in and then people are amazed that it's the same person. ”

Some actors want to keep riding the horse that made them famous, but it's not interesting to me. I like to turn an archetype on its head. ”

I was a class clown; the nuns didn't like that. ”

I'm getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage. ”

A character should always have a secret. I feel like we all do. ”
