I never did acting in high school, … I walked into acting class one day because they had signs for auditions. I looked around at the people and thought, ‘I don’t like any of these...

It is Daniel trying to think ‘WWCD’ — what would Christ do. What would Christ say?

Paul would be laughing with extras and saying, ‘Yes, and then we could do that,’ and, ‘Let’s try this,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, but we’ve got to go!’

That was a nice benefit, to have a real bit of social good come out of doing the film,

I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn’t something that I find comfortable.

When I read the script, I just started pacing back and forth, laughing. I thought, ‘I could see myself doing this.’ And it’s set in New York? That’s it.

I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.

He is caught up in the modern malady of extreme busyness and stress. But he can have moments of great lucidity and humor, and he cherishes his moments of quiet in the church, and in...

I can’t control how people are going to react. I try not to worry about what I can’t control.

Paul sometimes would be a little bit annoying to me, because I’d be behind the camera on a scene I wasn’t in, looking at the clock and going, ‘Come on, we’ve got to move on,’

He’s very much a product of the times. I think his spiritual journey is rocky but strong. I think he allows himself to question what’s going on. But I think he has a deep and...

I don’t get any parts I don’t get offered. There are lots of great things out there I would like to do that I don’t get offered.
