I Keep A Diary -

You Know Who It Is? It's Me In 10 Years. So I Turned 25. Ten Years Later, That Same Person Comes To Me And Says, 'so, Are You A Hero?' And I Was Like, 'not Even Close. No, No, No.' She Said, 'why?' I Said, 'because My Hero's Me At 35.' So You See Every Day, Every Week, Every Month And Every Year Of My Life, My Hero's Always 10 Years Away. I'm Never Gonna Be My Hero. I'm Not Gonna Attain That. I Know I'm Not, And That's Just Fine With Me Because That Keeps Me With Somebody To Keep On Chasing.

Each Of The Films, Whether It’s Magic Mike Or Dallas Buyers Club, Was A Challenge For Me. I Had To Dig Deeper. Also, My Decision To Shake Things Up Came After My First Child Was Born. I Had Taken Nearly Two Years Off And I Thought That I Would Enjoy My Time As A Dad And Wait Until Something Interesting Came Along.

One Of The Great Pleasures Of Going To See A Daniel Day-lewis Film: You Haven’t Seen Him In Five Years. Where Have You Been? So, It’s A Special Event, Right? Well, If You Want To Go See A Movie That I’m In, It Still May Be A Special Event For You, But, You Don’t Feel Like You Don’t Know Where I’ve Been.

Directors Like William Friedkin (killer Joe), Steven Soderbergh (magic Mike) And Lee Daniels (the Paperboy) Got In Touch With Me And Wanted Me To Be Part Of Their Films. That Was A Whole New Chapter For Me. I Didn’t Chase Any Of Those Films And It Made Me Think That I Was Right To Take A Chance, Say No To The Kind Of Thing I Had Grown Tired Of Doing, And Wait Until Something Good Came Around. And It Did.

I Don't Know How To Work A Room. It's A Real Skill.
