Are you a Hollywood guy?

"Oh no. I don't really give a fuck. I just want to get to work on time, which I have trouble doing."

Did you do any research for Gone in Sixty Seconds?

"Yeah, some police car theft experts showed me how to break into Cadillacs and Mercedes."

Do you like filming sex scenes?

"In Black and White I had to get naked with two black women. That was pretty awkward. It's such a damn game - even though you're naked and it's an awkward situation, it's still such a game. I like to control my personal space."

Who were your Hollywood heroes?

"Bruce Lee. I study martial arts intensively. Don't know if I'm accomplished, though. I don't know shit about shit, but I like Jean-Paul Belmondo, too. He was a crazy French guy who drove around shooting people, and stealing cars in 60s films."

The lead in Dawson's Creek or Mobster Number Three in The Godfather? Your choice.

"The money for Dawson's Creek is fucking good, but I'd rather be a mobster. Then again…hard question."

Is acting making you rich?

"It's giving me money, man, I don't know if it's giving me anything else."
