When I Met Scientists, I Found Them

I Think American Films Right Now Are Suffering From An Excess Of Scale. Lots Of Movies We're Seeing Now Are More Akin To Video Games Than Stories About Human Life And Relationships. Twelve- To 20-year-olds Are Maybe The Largest Economic Force In The Us Movie Business. I'm Not A Very Nostalgic Person - But I Enjoy A Good Story.

I Haven't Purposefully Set Out To Play Heroes. I'm Interested In Playing The Character Who Finds Himself In Extraordinary Circumstances. But He's Really Either Just Saving Himself Or Acting In The Service Of Something That's Important To Him.

The Job's Always The Same. It Involves Helping To Tell The Story And Creating An Alloy Between Character And Story That Serves The Film.

Sometimes I Try To Improve The Language, The Lines, Or The Delivery, But I Don't Ad-lib Because I Think That Makes It Really Hard For Everybody Else Involved.

No One Wants To See A Hero Have To Pick Up His Cane To Hit Someone, But I'm Still Quite Fit Enough To Fake It.
