Nothing Shocks Me. I'm A Scientist.

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.

You Have To Remember That Baseball Really Was The American Pastime In The Forties, Not Football, Basketball Or Any Other Sport.

An Icon Means Nothing To Me. I Don't Understand What It Means To Anybody Actually. It Seems Like A Word Of Convenience. It Seems To Attend To The Huge Success Of Certain Kinds Of Movies That I Did, But There's No Personal Utility In Being An Icon. I Don't Know What An Icon Does, Except Stand In A Corner Quietly Accepting Everyone's Attention. I Like To Work, So There's No Utility In Being An Icon.

I Don't Think Nostalgia Is Very Useful To Me. There Is A Story To Be Told, There's Behaviour To Create Or To Bring To The Screen That Will Help Tell That Story, And Nostalgia Is Just Not Really A Big Part Of My Emotional Package.

I've Always Been Somewhere Down From The Top, So I've Never Had To Suffer Being Knocked Off The Top.
