Personal Quotes
The thing that I judged myself the harshest for was a kids' movie that I did. I did Marmaduke (2010). At the time I gave myself a real hard time for it, but I'm so grateful... whenever kids come up to me, the parents are like, "We watched it everyday for a month." You don't get that on Soldier's Girl (2003). A little bit different. But... oh god please don't take this the wrong way, I have to be grateful for the work that I get. And I am grateful! What I was really kind of annoyed with myself about was I'd just finished Pushing Daisies (2007) and I was really sad that that was over. And I know that I wasn't responsible for it being over, but I was the lead of that show, and when it falls apart, you do feel a little bit of like, "Aww... I must've missed it. Maybe I'm responsible for why people didn't watch. Maybe if I was in tabloids more, people would be more interested." These are the kind of things that go through your head. And so I felt like I was lazily doing a cheap version of Ned. I was doing that "Like me!" dance that a lot of actors do. It's easy to get caught up in that. "Do you like me? Do you like me like this? What if I do that? What if I wear this?" At the time I was thinking, "I've got to take it because I might not be able to do this forever." You know? But you take it and you learn. I learned a lot on that movie. You always learn something if you pay attention.

[on Lincoln (2012)] That was a real pinnacle of what I've done as an actor - to be on that set with Steven Spielberg and working with Tommy Lee Jones was just awesome. It was very different than theater. We didn't rehearse at all. We'd literally just come to the set and Steven was like, "OK, are you ready to shoot his?" I had this big, long speech my first day on the set, and there were hundreds of people in the room, and he was like, "Well, why don't we just shoot one take? I've got the camera back there." And I was just like, "Alright!"

I just appreciate that Twilight really does bring a Community of people together.

I find that the best way into [acting successfully] is to open my heart up to it and allow it to be as truthful and honest as I can be, and I can make it. It's hard to do that; it's hard to open yourself up to something.
