"The earth was saturated with these horrific images of me as Tom Hanson. They'd invented this product, and this product somehow looked
like me, and I had no control over it. And I was forced to work maybe 290 days out of 365 days a year, and you end up saying some guy's
words more than you say your own, and they aren't particularly good words, with a lot of histrionics and bad plot points, and that feels bad.
It feels really bad. It was horrible." in Rolling Stone, February 2005

"Sh*t, I may be doing TV in ten years. Or doing f*cking appearances at a hamburger stand dressed as Captain Jack, you know?" (2004)

"Part of the process that I've always enjoyed is being the observer. You know, just watching people and learning. At a certain point,
the reversal took place. I was no longer the observer – I was being observed. That's obviously very dangerous because part of
an actor's job is to observe." in Esquire Magazine, January 2008
