A film has its own life and takes its own time.

But I guess I like playing flawed guys 'cause it gives a place for the characters to go.

But then, even with sex, I'm more in the school of less is more in movies.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

I don't do comedy so much although I would like to do a comedy.

I got as much information as I could, so I wouldn't look stupid, but this is a post 9/11 world and there's only so much you can do with the FBI in terms of research.

I often feel that my days in New York City, that I was here for five years, didn't get one job, went on a thousands of auditions and literally did not get a job on a soap, not a movie, not TV, not nothing, although I did do some commercials thank God.

I think every actor wants to be an FBI or cop at one point.

I think that maybe that's my weakness, in that I don't know how to do it, so I just do what I do and try to do it as passionately and as well as I can.

I think women can be as cruel as men, and men as tender as women, and vice versa.
Aaron Eckhart
I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.
Aaron Eckhart
I'm an actor and it happened to go my way that day.

I've been working for many years and I think I've managed to work with some of the best people in the business, which has been rewarding and an apprenticeship.

If it helps me in the way that if this movie is successful, I get to make more films, great, and the more films that I make and the more interest that I'm allowed to cover, the better for me and the better, hopefully, for the people who like to watch me.

If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton.

It makes me feel good that I can now sit there and go, I've worked with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, all the great actors that I've worked with... Sir Ben Kingsley.

It seems to me if you want something badly enough, whether you're a man or a woman, you'll do whatever you have to do to get it.

Right now, I have to admit, that I'm more interested in giving people a little bit of hope and goodness.

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
Aaron Eckhart
23
The problem with making larger movies, five or six months, is that whose got the energy to keep themselves in that place for so long?
Aaron Eckhart
24
There are different reasons to make movies.

Through all the relationship stuff I've gone through in the past few years, I know there are fundamental differences in how men and women view sex and how they view their futures.
Aaron Eckhart
26
Well, I've thought many times when my career was in the toilet, that I was going to have to seriously consider getting another job, I don't know what I'd do.
Aaron Eckhart
27
When it gets down to it you just have to act.
Aaron Eckhart
28
Yeah, but there's nobody who represents romance to me like Cary Grant.
Aaron Eckhart
29
Yeah, I'd like to get the girl and at least make it through the film.

You never really know as an actor; it's completely out of your control, in terms of editing, and music, and film stock, shot selection, and what takes they use.
