On being more comfortable with who he is: "Most recently, the last few years, I feel way more comfortable than
I've ever felt. You always talk about that, and then one day you're
like:
If they don't like this, well, f*ck 'em. What can you do?
It's a resignation to life and who you are. Hey, look, I'm pretty
well-formed as an adult now. I don't have to impress anybody. You ask
yourself these different questions:
What do I want to do? Interesting question:
What do I want to do? What makes me really happy? I've
learned all these things that I'm supposed to do. I know I'm supposed
to be in that place and do that thing… but to really, deeply ask
yourself that question — What do
I want to do?"
On being single: “Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship.”
On what propels him: “I always thought of myself as
the underdog, because I didn’t have nice enough clothes or maybe my hair
didn’t look good. And so you have to understand – getting your foot in
the door is like winning the lottery. It’s literally like winning the
lottery if you get to have a career. And I’ve always felt, Okay, now
I’ve gotten this shot, and I’m lucky to have gotten this shot, and if I
don’t do this to the best of my ability – if I don’t work my ass off and
make a life of it – I’ve squandered this incredibly golden opportunity.
And that’s always been what has propelled me.”
On his early success: “I really didn’t understand
what fame was and I didn’t understand what being in a giant hit was and I
didn’t understand what a giant hit Titanic was compared to other giant
hits. There was no rule book. There was nobody to navigate me through
the experience of being watched all the time and nobody to tell me how
to be normal when everybody is acting and looking at me differently.”
