New York City is one of the greatest places on the planet. You have the best in food, art, theatre, and definitely people-watching.
I have, like, three suits to my name. But one thing I've learned is that when you dress up in real life, people treat you differently.
I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.
I don't care about the size of the roles, or how they're marketed or billed or anything like that. I would love to be a part of stories that tell us about where we've come from, where we are, where we're going - with great directors.
I think anyone who's ever gone through adolescence and wanted something from their parents knows the basic tenets of a con.
Playing athletics, playing a lot of different sports, going to drama school... I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, so I ended up being pretty average at everything.
My personal life is a source of incredible happiness for me, but it's personal, and it's not for me to hock or shop around to the highest bidder.
I think if you start to think too much about things that are completely out of control, it will just drive you crazy as an actor.
I don't know anybody who walks through life all the time in the doldrums, constantly serious and morose. But that's become what we generalize as drama.
For some reason, they always gave me a fat suit in high-school productions. If there was a character who needed to be robust, they gave me a fat suit, and I put on a silly voice.
When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind.
Well, when you're playing a role, you have to think, 'What is ultimately motivating the character?'
Just being attached to 'Superman' actually gave a great boost to my career.
I like to just work with great directors.
