 As a kid I used to pretend I was John Denver, of all people, and play the guitar and sing Take Me Home, Country Roads. |
| I had gone to school to study marine biology. |
| There's been a boiling down of real emotion into a set pattern instead of individualism. |
| I get to play a killer next. |
| I guess I'm a little charmed. I never thought this would happen so quick. |
| I think people could justify labeling me if they saw a pattern in what I do, but right now that's impossible. |
| Ambiguity in directors is a hard thing to deal with. |
| People said, That's great for your career, but what have you done? I kept feeling I had to defend myself. |
| Whatever labels are being pinned on me have nothing to do with me. |
| I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield. |
| I think you have to refill the well at some point. |
| The more you understand me, the less characters I can play. |
| Everyone's really lazy in L.A. |
| I'm not the most talkative guy in the world. |
| I think I'm extremely vulnerable and that in some ways I seek out rejection. Never feeling like you're getting that pat on the back from dad is probably at the heart of that. |
| As an actor, you want to keep your demons to some extent, but you also have to exorcise them so you can use them instead of them using you. |
| There's a lot of reasons you can think of to say why you act, but I can only say that it just felt good. At the same time, it felt really painful. It's still troubling and stressful to me. |
| Ultimately, it's a pretty confusing moment. |
| I would take William H. Macy as a teacher any day of the week. He's incredible. He's got a lot of hard-earned experience. |
| I don't use the techniques I learned at NYU much anymore. |
