“Oliver Stone. Is that not enough?”

I definitely have a piece of tape over my computer at home.

I think some of the most interesting stuff was seeing how the Dark Web works and seeing how easy it is for hackers to break into your computer or your bank account or your private information.

I don’t want to talk about the vampire schedule. That’s just gonna upset me.

Growing up in Hawaii, the ocean is where I’m most at home. When I’m away from it and landlocked I long for the ocean. There’s something about it, I’m at peace with it.

I grew up on movie sets, getting to see storytelling happen up close.

Romantic dramas? I love The Notebook. Titanic was great. Classic.

Really I’m a fan of any movie, whether it’s suspense, action, or comedy, anything that has a good story.

I normally go-to whiskey on the rocks. Or a beer. Or with dinner, a glass of white wine.

I couldn’t say a specific thing, but the media is not really held to high standards anymore.

If I’m gonna play a character in a movie or if I want to be the lead of a film, you wanna carry the guy, you wanna get the girl, you wanna save the day or the world.

My dad is really old school: Whatever you do, just be the best at it. He didn’t really care if I was a plumber or a roofer. It didn’t matter what I did. He said, Go out and find out what you like to do, and be the best at it.

I just do what Clint Eastwood does: Keep moving forward. You can’t look back or think about that kind of stuff too much. You just keep making movies; hopefully you make some good ones.

Be the leads of big films that are entertaining and maybe then cross over to stuff that moves people and has a little bit more texture to it.

I’m just looking to be in the best movies possible and do the best work possible and try to become a better actor and make better movies.

For movies like The Longest Ride, I got to hang out with cowboys at rodeos and learned how to ride a bull, essentially.

Keep your head down, work hard, and don’t ever believe your own hype, because… you just keep working.

The reason is obvious. A well-known name got well-known because it stood for something. It occupies a position in the prospect’s mind. A really well-known name sits on the top rung of a sharply defined ladder.

We know that the war against intelligence is always waged in the name of common sense.

Jazz brought this sense of democracy where four guys come together and your name may be on the marquee, but in this moment, when you’re the soloist, it’s you, and we follow you. We follow you.

If I were asked to name the chief event in my life, I should say my father’s library.

Doubt is one of the names of intelligence.

All the donuts have names that sound like prostitutes

To make a film and to sell it to the distributors you need a name.

I’ll play it first and figure out what it’s called later.
