“I personally don’t like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.”

I like to be able to wear something that is appropriate for wherever the day takes me: to work, on a hike and then out to dinner. I like to take the formality out of the day’s schedule and be ready for any off-road detour.

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

There are a whole bunch of roles where people say, ‘Oh, you’re playing yourself.’ I guess it’s kind of a compliment.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

I was raised on, ‘You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.’

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

I talk to myself all the time. Just make sure you answer.

My wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.

So, it’s a special event, right? Well, if you want to go see a movie that I’m in, it still may be a special event for you, but, you don’t feel like you don’t know where I’ve been.

We spend so much time sublimatin’, thinkin’ about, ‘What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?’

Good ideas are free – or at least they should be.

I love having my hands in the dirt. It is never a science and always an art.

I say to the paparazzi, ‘Fellas, take your shot and go.’ It’s just they usually find me on a beach.

You don’t play characters that are celebrities – you play guys who know what to do when their septic tank’s blocked.

When I’m surfing, I’m sure not thinking about the paparazzi. I guess if they start getting on floaties and coming out there in the water, then I might be a little upset.

I don’t dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it’s gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin’ White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It’s connected to where you are today.

I believe. France and Germany and Japan, China, other nations, they’re going to exist. But they’re losing their significance and ability to deal with certain matters.

I was so scared of going back to the theatre after Hamlet. I didn’t know if I’d do a play again because I was afraid of the power of it.

The thing with film and theater is that you always know the story so you can play certain cues in each scene with the knowledge that you know where the story’s going to end and how it’s going to go. But on television nobody knows what’s going to happen, even the writers.

You Don’t Have to Go Home from Work Exhausted!

Things are never going to turn out how you think they will.

The thing I think about is that once you’ve done it, you then start to think about what you’re going to do next.

I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life. I just had a kind of energy, I was a fairly happy kid.

It’s like going to a place that you’ve never been to before – you’ve got a picture of it and then you go there and that picture is totally wiped out by the reality.
