I have an issue with the commercial aspect of moviemaking: I don't see why a movie can't make a lot of money and also be good.

Some people are really good at playing the movie star - they are really good at cultivating that mystique - but I'm not really into that.

Everybody's a mix of good and bad choices that they make.

I came out of high school, where my heroes were, like, Michael Jordan and a lot of local rugby players - and on the movie front, it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.

It's weird: I don't see myself as a tough guy.

I learned a great lesson early on, even before I was really an actor, from that movie 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' that John Hughes made: that you could make a movie that's really, really, really, really funny, and sometimes you can still achieve... making the audience feel very deep emotions as well.
