I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.

You have to stay in character in between takes.

I was a bad student. I liked archaeology actually, I was interested in maybe becoming an archaeologist but I was such a bad student and had such bad grades that I wasn't going to get into any really good college so I fell back on acting.

I think you never want to have to go into the scene having to improvise; you want to make sure its working on the page. But I do like to have the ability to try stuff just in the moment, to give it some sort of spontaneity.

I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !

I don't even want to think of myself as an actor because it's such an insecure place to go.

There's always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you're a fraud after all!
