I don't know if I'm more confident than ever before, because I definitely had confidence when I was starting out. Maybe I have less confidence now that I did then.
When you are given an opportunity to make a film like 'Body of Lies' - and I would put 'Blood Diamond' in the same category - of course you jump at these opportunities.
I've never done drugs. That's because I saw this stuff literally every day when I was 3 or 4 years old.
I saw all the moral decay you could, beginning at 2 years old. But I also got to see how the other half lived.
I love science fiction, but I have a hard time feeling for characters in a galaxy far away. Choosing movies is the one thing in my life where there's no compromising.
I haven't died in a movie in a while,'The Departed,' 'Body of Lies,' 'Revolutionary Road,' 'Shutter Island' and 'Inception.' I guess I did die in 'The Departed.'
I went to a concert once when I was a little kid and ran up onstage, started dancing, started saying anything that came to my head. I was like a little vaudevillian.
My friends have named me the person they least want to do extreme adventures with, because I always seem to be very close to being part of a disaster. If a cat has nine lives, I think I've used a few.
I love scuba diving, and I've been up and down the Amazon.
Hopefully I've gotten better as an actor as the years have gone on, but the type of work I want to do has never changed.
School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn't want to learn.
I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe mankind has looked at climate change in the same way, as if it were a fiction.
I just really love doing what I do. I know every career is fleeting and there will be time periods when I don't get the opportunities that I'm getting right now, so I am taking advantage of them.
I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it's taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.
Being dubbed as a hunk sort of annoys me. It gives me a yucky feeling.
I just want to keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully people will watch my movies.
I am friends with Demi. Don't believe anything you read.
If I want to go to a party with a few male friends, it doesn't mean I'm gay.
I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.
The role of Rimbaud is one of the most important roles to play for a young actor.
The good thing about acting is that it always keeps you on your toes... It's not like any other job where you can go in and do the same thing as yesterday.
I couldn't deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y'know?
I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.
I've been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be.
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances.
Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life.
It's easy to fall into the trap of believing all the hype that's written about you... Who knows? In a couple of years, you might find me in the loony bin!
I was a bit of a loudmouth, and I was in an environment where the elements aligned to have kids smack the hell outta me once in a while.
