Persistence pays off.
I can't say enough about Ireland. I can't. I'd move there.
The last decade has been a little rough, so I'm hoping to start this one on the right foot.
Showing fear is like having comedic timing because I think actors have a tendency to go way over the top with it, and that sort of loses steam for what's going on. The audience sees right through that and laughs at you, so it is something that I'm aware of.
In a Western, you don't over-explain.
There's that rule, don't work with kids and animals. There's a reason for that!
I was almost ready to call it quits - sick of doing a job and then being back on the unemployment line and trying to make ends meet. But I loved acting and didn't know what else to do.
Acting is a hard profession. More than anything, it takes fortitude.
A 12-year-old can watch 'Spiderman.' A 12-year-old cannot watch 'Watchmen.'
If you look at my resume, I've more often than not played a very solid, decent human being.
I just didn't want to get bored playing a character, and that's kind of the benefit of doing films; you've lived with a character for four or five months and that's it, and you walk away from that character and you feel like you told a story.
I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.
The work I'm doing on 'Watchmen' is mind bending and physically just hard.
Since Chris Albrecht took over the network, I think more and more people are finding Starz. He made HBO what HBO became, and now he's doing the same thing at Starz.
Once I got over my initial butterflies, being in the same room and doing a scene with Jimmy Caan was great. I never backed down for one second against him. I loved it. I love those moments. Working with people like that is the greatest joy you can get as an actor.
I'm easy to get along with - I'm not a diva.
Shooting all day in the rain is not where you want to be.
Jon Hamm - I know him. I love him.
I love Bill Murray, but I'm not quite Bill Murray. I wish!
I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.
