You'd be hard-pressed to find an actor who isn't a sex symbol somewhere.

Sex appeal is a good thing for commercial cinema. Though I can't sit at home and consider myself a sex symbol, it is for people to do so. I want to be known as an interesting actor.

I know I walk a fine line between being a respected actor and being what they call a sex symbol.

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.

Eventually, I'd love to be known as a character actor.

I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.

I love being regarded as a sex symbol, but I can't take it too seriously.

It's something that I think I'm going to have to fight against for most of my career, for people to take me seriously as an actor as opposed to a good-looking guy. It's not what I want to be known as.

I'm an actor, and I love the art of creating a character.

If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.
