I see each project as an opportunity to grow as a person and as an actor.

I hope I can become a good enough filmmaker where I can take a script that I'm not 'heart and soul' into, but I could still make something really great out of it.

For actors, when you first get the project and you see that it's a Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman-produced project, right away, from an acting standpoint, you go, 'Wow. That'd be great to be part of that. What a career move that'd be.'

I hope to continue building my acting career and work more on projects that fulfill my artistic thirst.

I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.

My ambition is to get better as an actor.

Hopefully, I'll just get to be part of good films and work with good people, and that's how it will develop.

All I am hoping for is to be able to work - I think my best work is still ahead of me - I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only made me a better, more interesting actor.

I don't think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren't. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end.

As an actor, you want to do the best job possible, and you want the best scripts possible because it makes life more interesting.
