Aaron Eckhart

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.

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.

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.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.
