Notes on Aaron Eckhart

"I don't think it's impossible to have a relationship. I think it's complicated. I think we never reach our human potential to love. I think the need for sex overrides the capacity to love. I feel like as long as that happens, we're doomed. Love is what we should be after, instead of this physical gyration." - Eckhart to Cindy Pearlman of the Chicago Sun-Times, Aug. 16, 1998

"I just want to do what it takes to embody a character in a way that is different from what I did last time. I mean, why play the same guy?" - Eckhart quoted in W magazine, March 2000

"I'm dating as many people as I possibly can, but nobody serious. No, dating isn't the right word. I'm hanging out with as many people as I possibly can." - Eckhart, on his relationship status, to Entertainment Weekly, March 2006

"I'm going to try never to sit back and say, 'I'm here.'" - Eckhart to Vanity Fair magazine, July 2007

"I'm not good at auditioning. I'm not a good salesman." - Eckhart to Movieline, October 2000

"My life right now is my dog and my job. I know that one day the rest will follow." - Eckhart to People magazine, Sept. 9, 2002

"We both like to explore the darker side of humanity. I have no interest in doing 'Touched By an Angel.' I like it when guys are down and out and fighting against life and they don't always make it." - Eckhart on his affinity with Neil LaBute, to the San Francisco Chronicle, Aug. 16, 1998
