And Yeah, My Handicap Was Down To

If You Can Mix Hilary Duff And Gary Oldman Into The Same Actor, That's My Goal. I Know It's Strange To Think About, But That's The Goal.

Oh Yeah, I'm The President Of The Lucky Club. There Are So Many Talented People Who Don't Work. And The Crop Of Young Actors I'm Surrounded By Is Incredible. When You Have People Like That Around You It Amps You Up A Little Bit. Also, Emile Hirsch And Joseph Gordon-levitt, Or Guys Like Ryan Gosling. It's A Really Good Crowd And I Feel I'm Coming Up At A Good Time. But Equally, There's A Lot Of Good Young Actors Who Don't Get To Work Who Are More Talented Than I. I'm Just Lucky.

There Is No Grand Strategy. My Sensibilities Push Me In A Certain Direction. Other Actors Have Different Sensibilities. That's All. I Think It Really Is That Simple. There's No Grand Strategy. There Are So Many Variables That I Have No Control Over. I Sign On To Movies I Want To Watch, As A Fan.

I Turned Down Twelve Films Last Year... Huge Money Films, But I Had No Respect For The Writer Or The Work.

I'm Still In The Middle Of The Transition. I'm Still In Man-boy Mode. And That Won't Go Away For A While. But It's A Fun Time To Be In, Because It's Very Rare That People Get To Work Through This Time. It's Rare To See A John Cusack In Say Anything. It's Rare That You'd Find An Actor Right In The Cusp Of The Child-to Adult Transition, Just Got Through Puberty, Just Getting Into A Different Way Of Life. There's Few Movies Like That, And Few Roles Like That, So It's Going To Be Tough To Pick And Choose. I Guess The Goal Is Good People, Work With Good People.
