 Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it. |
| I want to be so strong as an actor that people wouldn't say... eh, that's Josh Lucas. |
| When I was on that boat, I realized the only way I would feel creatively challenged was if I totally changed everything about my environment and put myself in a storm, in a sense. |
| I think I've spent so much time playing characters that are so far away from me and learning how to technically build and how to technically put something on top of you. |
| I visited those friends who'd just had a baby, and she was washing dishes and he was cleaning the house, and I burst with happiness. And in their minds, they were in this terrible domestic rut. |
| I'm right at a time when I'm strongly finding my identity inside of my work. |
| Always do something different. Always different things. |
| Once everyone else around you starts to become incredibly comfortable - if anything, quite happy with what you are doing - then I start to settling in and trusting all those choices that I've made up to that point. |
| It's funny, but we were living on this small island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina when I was 9. |
| It was a long period of time where I tried to figure out what worked, what didn't work. |
| So when we finally settled down outside of Seattle I felt totally uncomfortable with that idea. |
| I had friends of mine tell me they had a baby, and I didn't even know they were pregnant. |
| My nomadic childhood dramatically fed my eventual decision to be an actor, but not in the way you might think. |
| I'm challenged by people like Russell Crowe and Sean Penn who come in with such incredible discipline and power. |
| Every day is intense and alive, whether it's travel, work, even down time, which there is so little of. |
| This fear of death infused me with the desire to live, and to live harder. |
| Wrap parties can be really sad, actually, disorienting. |
| It's the South that maintains the idea that they're different, which is interesting because nobody else really cares. |
| I love how people in this business push themselves to know themselves, the world, and their creativity better. |
| At a certain point, even if the one alpha male is dominant, at a certain point there's a younger lion that is stronger, and everyone knows it. |
