I felt this was such a refreshing story of love. For me, our characters were also complex, and to...really investigate this form of humanity and expression of love was an opportunity that I hadn't had.
[Banning it] is hilarious and very immature of a society. If two people are loving ... I think we should be more concerned if two people express anger in love, than love.
In my personal life, however, I want to achieve more babies! But I'll probably go back to work mid-next year.
Since my profession had wound me up, I needed something in my profession to wind me down. I couldn't just go home; I would have gone mad. So I went to Venice, floated around the city, drank wine, ate pasta. I needed to just breathe, relax . . . and got paid for it.
I flipped through his journals and then it was (history) out the window. We were making it into a romp. We wanted to have a clean slate and just have fun.
I had such a great experience with Terry on The Brothers Grimm that I vowed I'd look for other roles and films that would challenge me and offer me roles I'd never tackled before. I really wanted to stretch myself as an actor.
I sort of took my career and destroyed it.
We've been incredibly successful this year by meeting little Matilda. That's it.
It's the most exciting time of my life.
There was this kind of industry-manufactured fear and risk factor that was surrounding the script.
Thousands of women were falling in love with him all the time. So when he finally finds a woman who isn't attracted to any of that, that's what really devastates him, and interests him
It's not a disease. It's not contagious. They should understand that it's a story of pure love. They don't have to be a hero. They don't have to be brave like us. I guess a little bit of maturity is being asked for because society has been immature in the past. That's about it.
It was like shooting a movie inside a museum.
If you just be safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.
I still find it personally disappointing that people kind of go out of their way to voice their disgust or their opinions against the ways in which two people choose to love one another. I think that's really unfortunate.
Bronte is scaring me at the moment. I feel like the paparazzi are going to kick me out of that city.
Heath has enough seductive ability naturally, he didn't need any tips from me.
I'm still a kid. I'm like six years old. But it's just a matter of wanting to get up, it's just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.
Working in Venice was like a four-month guided tour of the city. It was like shooting a film inside a museum.
I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away.
It was pretty clear that this story hadn't been put to screen. It's not very often that you come across a story that hasn't been made.
It was an opportunity to tell a story that hadn't been put on the screen. The character is so tragic. I really enjoyed how little words he had to express his battle and express his inability to love.
It may have just happened.
(We) met with a gentleman who had been a junkie or an addict for 25 years and interviewed him.
We were trying to contrast each other a little bit. We wanted to present different qualities as brothers, but also have similarities ... like the fact that we wouldn't stand with these brave faces in the face of danger. We would scream like little girls, cower and run away.
It transcends a label. It's a story of two human beings that are in love; get over the fact that it's two men — that's the point.
Personally, I don't think the movie is (controversial), but I think maybe the Mormons in Utah do. I think it's hilarious and very immature of a society.
My character was extremely lonely and I think I carried that feeling through the whole filming experience.
Throwing eggs at them. I purposely don't hit anybody because they'd turn around and sue me. I was lobbing the eggs at the rocks next to them. It's all you can do.
I wasn't prepared to expose stories about something so special and wonderfully private that is happening in my life. I guess a part of me wishes that I'd never have to and that maybe I could protect this special time. I was dreaming.
I'm sorry you were asking me these questions so early and I hadn't figured out a way to speak of it in public, ... I apologize for my terrible interview skills.
And I love Matt and I loved working with him, ... He's a generous person, he's a generous actor, and (smirking) he's a fantastic tango dancer.
I was really lucky that my character was uncomfortable with it and knew it too. So I could use my own level of discomfort, because it was new and strange for me, and that worked for me.
But that is also what makes it exciting.
We had a good sense of humor about it, because we knew what we were holding on to and how it was going to exceed expectations and [labels]. We weren't running around naked in chaps swinging pink guns in the air. We knew that, and we found it funny that no one else did.
I take a lot of photos of people.
I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.
They've been rude. They don't acknowledge us.
Sorry, I'm really tired.
This is a fairytale version, ... They're con men.
It's a little overwhelming.
This felt like something that hadn't been done.
It was one of about 60 television interviews I completed in that sitting and it sounds like you landed the dud.
Was a very lonely experience, but it was supposed to be.
The movie's already exceeded any expectations I had. I think pleasing Annie Proulx, the writer, and getting her nod of approval was the biggest success for me, for us.
[When his lady friend Michelle Williams (of] Dawson's Creek ... spend at least a few months bonding.
We have a few places up our sleeves, ... I would much rather work in Europe than America.
There was never a dull moment on the set.
I have kind of been living out of bags for the past 13 years. I will just stick to that.
We certainly weren't going out of our way to make a change in the world. We didn't make the film for any kind of political movement. We never expected to change people's minds; but if it does affect people's hearts, if perceptions can get altered, that's a good thing.
It took a delicate man to tell this story, and that's you.
I have kind of been living out of bags for the past 13 years. I will just stick to that, ... Home is, like, Earth. I don't care where I land. I am actually thinking of going to live in Italy. The food and the wine are great there. That's it really
I had a dear friend of mine, who's my uncle. He's a big guy. He goes to bare-knuckle fighting out in the Nevada desert, and he's gay.
But the paparazzi are quite malicious and vocal and really rude, ... And they camped outside of my house, so I started throwing eggs at them, lobbing them at rocks next to them.
I flipped through his journals and then it was (history) out the window, ... We were making it into a romp. We wanted to have a clean slate and just have fun.
We have some places picked out.
Cinderella Man.
Casanova was a person who really fell in love with every woman, as opposed to Don Juan, ... I also have an appreciation for love -- just not that many.
Aren't we at the stage these days when it just doesn't ... matter? It's a story of love and it's a story between two people. If people can't get over that and just accept it as a story, then that's their problem. I'm big enough and brave enough to do it.
