We're all real people with moments of intense honesty and pathos and humanity. We all experience that, whether you're comedic or not.

I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.

I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.

The world needs less destruction.

With acting, if a friend asked me to be in a movie or TV show, there's a lot of things on my résumé I did without reading them or knowing what they were. I just said I'd do that because a friend wrote it, directed, produced, acted in it. With directing, I'm sticking to my guns, not that a lot of people are begging me to direct.

If you surround me with darkness, suddenly, I am "somewhat fun."

My goal, whenever entering a project, is always to gain 12 pounds.
