The biggest challenge to being an actor is when you're not working, just being unemployed, the downtime and not having anything to do.

Just getting to talk to that person [Woody Allen ] in real life was pretty wild.

It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].

Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.

There's a lot of complicated magical reasons why I'm not at the party that are too long and semantic to go into.

By anyone's measure, [Warren Beatty] is proven himself. But he still sets out to make something as great as it possibly can be.

When I was a little kid, my parents would show me Marx Brothers films and westerns and stuff like that. Thats where all my desire to be an actor comes from and probably most of my understanding of acting comes from for sure.
