When you're working with film, you can only shoot one angle at a time, and then everything has to stop, and you re-light it and shoot everything else from the opposite side, so it's really important that you stick exactly to what's written.

You get to a point where you have to start planning, when you cross that line where you have enough value to get someone's movie made if you attach yourself to it, you have to be very thoughtful and have to plan.

To go to the Oscars for Moneyball – that was pretty amazing. And to be able to go work with Kathryn Bigelow – that’s going to be pretty sweet. Hopefully I don’t have to go back to being a waiter. That’s still my main goal.

When you look at pictures of me, the longer my hair is, the longer my facial hair is, that’s just the longer I haven’t gotten a job.

I would definitely not rule out doing television in the future because I think it’s a great medium for telling stories. And it can also be practically very nice for a family man to have 9 months out of the year where you’re in the city, where you’re close to your home.

If one day someone came up to me and was like, ‘Look, you’re never going to act again,’ I don’t know what I would do.

I love ‘Capote.’ Huge fan of Philip Seymour Hoffman; if he’s not my all-time favorite actor he’s definitely in my top five. I just love him so much.

I’d love to work with Steve Martin. I’d love to work with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd.

I don’t have any delusions. I don’t think I would make it through Navy SEAL training.

As an actor it’s always easier to shave or cut your hair for a role, but it’s hard to put fake hair on or grow hair for a role.
