Acting with Denzel is like playing tennis with someone that's better than you. You either play better tennis or get blown off the court.
Being outside and feeling that sort of oppressive heat - it's flammable! And your emotions tend to run hotter and higher.
I actually got better grades during football season, when I had no time, because I had to bear down and work a little harder.
I did this film for less money than it costs to stay in this hotel. We shot it in 20 days. We couldn't screw up takes for fun because we didn't have enough film.
I feel like my career is in its infancy. My father once told me that I had a baby face - my father is a director.
I get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I'm proud of, but I also want to make a living.
I like finishing a movie and having this living, breathing thing.
I mean there's no particular role I'm going after. If there was something I had in mind, I would start to adopt that look.
I'm an actor and this is a role I'm playing. But people can get wacky.
It was easy to be the bad guy throughout.
It's like, now you've done it, you stood up with the big boys and you were good onscreen. It gives me a lot more weight walking into a room. They just treat me with a different level of respect. They don't remember Superman so much as they remember that role, which is a different realm.
Mix one part Denzel Washington and two parts Eva Mendes and you have a nice hot cocktail.
Someone called my character the Meg Ryan of the Broken Hearts bunch. Now maybe the perception is that I'm a Meg Ryan type.
The taboo for straight actors playing gay is gone... My mother was squirming a bit in the theater because she comes from a different generation.
There are so many things about playing football that seem to me uniquely American. Anybody can succeed, anybody can play, but you've got to work hard to do it.
When they write about real stuff like my custody battle, that's no fun. Some things have leaked out about accusations that have gone back and forth and that's just mean. It's a tactic.
