Robert Redford was an absolute blast to work with - a very smart, very charismatic man.

I wanted to star in a western opposite Robert Redford. That was my plan for my life.

I cannot think of any character below the flatterer, except he who envies him.

Working with Robert Redford would be an unbelievable dream come true.

I've worked with Robert Altman a couple of times too.

As an actor, I was a fantastic rebel. Then I became a directorial rebel and understood rebels from both sides. So now I am a friend who gives advice - not one who knows more, necessarily, but who shares ideas.

You know, I really wish now I'd had the nerve to become an actor. Because I'd have been Robert Redford, no question.

I looked at early movies with Robert Redford, and I like how Robert, even though he had that automatic charisma and was a very verbal person, he always played those more silent characters and played within the scene and never overacted.

JJ Abrams is definitely a guy that when he calls, you want to answer. He's incredibly focused. When he was shooting the pilot on 'Lost,' we'd do a take and he'd go back to his tent and be working on the first episodes of 'Lost' as well as the cliffhanger for the eighth season of 'Alias.' He's an incredible multitasker.

I had a lot of respect for Jeremy Renner as an actor before I worked with him, because I was very impressed with what he did in 'The Hurt Locker.'
