I'm not a strikingly handsome guy but I'm in movies.

Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.

The best movies are simple.

I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain ' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine ' 'X Men ' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.

I'm doing 'Les Miserables ' the movie. I've done a lot of musicals and a lot of movies and I know there are not a lot of people in Hollywood who have been down those two paths so I've been like 'Come on let's do a movie/musical.'

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.

I've seen many many movies over the years and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it. Nothing else.

Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends church school church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.

The next thing I knew I was out of the service and making movies again. My first picture was called GI Blues. I thought I was still in the army.
