My wife comes from a foodie family so I've been indoctrinated into that. I had sweetbreads the other night, and I have to say, not my favorite thing in the world. You're eating a gland. Hide

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. Hide

I have about as much control over how I look as the guy who's short and looks more like a character actor - we both have the same drive to be actors and we both have the same drive to assume these different characters. It's just harder for me to get the chance, because they look at me and say, 'Oh, he's this type,' and they stamp me. Hide

[on a film version of Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)] No one actually offered me the movie, but while I was working on The Lone Ranger (2013), my agent brought it up and I said, "Nope". I mean c'mon - it's just mommy porn. I'm not going to sit on top of the laundry machine in spin cycle, reading about putting a ball gag in someone's mouth. That doesn't do it for me. Hide

Yeah, I mean I've definitely had a bunch of action scripts sent to me, but again I'm a stickler for directors. If it's like an action flick with a great director then it's like 'Oh let's look at this thing,' but if it's just like a shoot-em'-up with a first time director. I don't know if that's the trajectory I want to take with what I'm doing. Hide

There are two 'Snow White' movies coming out for the same reason that you remember back in the day there was Armageddon (1998) and then Deep Impact (1998). You know, The Andromeda Strain (1971) and then Outbreak (1995). Like, all of those things. It's common because basically studios have no imagination in making the decisions. Hide

[on filming The Lone Ranger (2013)] I learned to ride a horse through a moving train while firing two pistols, simultaneously. I'm not sure if that's a very applicable skill that I'll be able to use in Los Angeles traffic, but it was fun to get to do it in the movie. Hide
