" IS IT TRUE THAT YOU GOT INTO ACTING BECAUSE YOUR FAMILY WAS BROKE AND A FRIEND INSPIRED YOU TO TRY IT? It&amp;#039;s true that I got into acting because my family was broke, but that kid wasn&amp;#039;t ever really a friend. He was almost the enemy. He&amp;#039;d always have the new velcro sneakers that lit up or the new Sega Genesis, and I was a broke kid with a hand-me-down surfboard who was getting on the bus. So I was superjealous. But he did sort of inspire me to act. I think envy motivates a lot of people. ARE YOU AN ADVENTUROUS PERSON IN YOUR OWN LIFE? Extremely. Lately [the biggest adventures I&amp;#039;ve been on are] doing these [action] movies. Every time you make a movie it&amp;#039;s an adventure. They&amp;#039;re not walks through parks, and they&amp;#039;re not always as structured as Indy was. Transformers was not a structured thing. It&amp;#039;s not like you know what you&amp;#039;re doing when you wake up. You could wake up, and the director could say, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re running through that mine field, and it&amp;#039;s live. So make sure you don&amp;#039;t blow your leg off.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s adventurous. Right after I finish the movie I&amp;#039;m filming now [Eagle Eye], I&amp;#039;m going on a road trip. It&amp;#039;s something I&amp;#039;ve always wanted to do. I&amp;#039;m a huge Neal Cassady fan, and it&amp;#039;s something he did. HOW WAS IT WORKING WITH HARRISON FORD? I love the guy. He&amp;#039;s a great guy. He&amp;#039;s a man&amp;#039;s man. WHO ARE SOME OTHER ACTORS OR DIRECTORS THAT YOU&amp;#039;D WANT TO WORK WITH? God, I have a huge list. I love Daniel Day-Lewis. I love Gary Oldman. Dustin Hoffman is heavy \u2014 really him more than anyone else, I would imagine. HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU READ PEOPLE SAYING THAT YOU&amp;#039;RE THE NEXT TOM HANKS, JOHN CUSACK, OR DUSTIN HOFFMAN? You know, I&amp;#039;m flattered. I know exactly what it is, though. It&amp;#039;s about &amp;quot;How do you shoebox this person? Who is he most like?&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s not that I&amp;#039;m the next anyone. It&amp;#039;s that I&amp;#039;m not an Adonis, you know? I&amp;#039;m not a strikingly handsome guy, but I&amp;#039;m in movies. So when you look back at movies, who is not strikingly handsome who is somebody that people want to watch? Then you think of Cusack, and you think of Hoffman. I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s based on anything as far as performance. I think it&amp;#039;s based on a profile creation. It&amp;#039;s a visual thing.
