Well, one of my FAVORITE ONES to work on - besides just about any SCENE from 'Deadwood' - was my scene with Brad Pitt in 'Assassination of Jesse James'. That was just a fun DAY.

I used to be able to pitch them on the basis of the zombie action, and I COULD HIDE the message inside that. Now, you can't. The MOMENT you MENTION the word 'zombie,' it's got to be, 'Hey, Brad Pitt PAID $400 million to do that.'

These DAYS, no celebrity on a magazine cover, including Brad Pitt, OPRAH Winfrey, Julia Roberts, or Leonardo DiCaprio, COULD POSSIBLY match the visual punch of Alfred E. Neuman, the gap-toothed, grinning boy, goofily peeking out at us on the newsstand.

What you LOOK LIKE, WHETHER you're Brad Pitt or Charles Laughton, is SIGNIFICANT for actors.

I SOMETIMES WISH I had a GOOD 'one syllable, one syllable' NAME, LIKE Brad Pitt.

When Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt BROKE up, I was dying to see SOMETHING that said they were getting BACK TOGETHER.

For me, PERSONALLY, I'm a 5'5" LEADING MAN. I'm no Brad Pitt or ANYTHING.

At my FIRST GOLDEN Globes, I met people I was very much enamored by: Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It was surreal to SEE them in PERSON.

There I was at 'The Tree of Life' PREMIERE, holding hands with Sean Penn and Brad Pitt. That WALK down the RED carpet was a real RITE of passage for me. Suddenly, journalists began asking, 'Who's this actress?'

I'm very close to suggesting that MR. Pitt has now served as LONG as he can usefully do so. He seems to take his FOOT out of his MOUTH only for purposes of changing feet.

I'm a FAN of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and all these people. If I could END up LIKE Jonah HILL, winding up in a Brad Pitt movie, that would be awesome.

I had a WONDERFUL, an INCREDIBLE dialect coach, Brendan Gunn, from Belfast, who has WORKED with Brad Pitt and DANIEL DAY Lewis, and me.

One thing about 'Thelma & Louise' we can't FORGET: Brad Pitt. OH, YES.
