I'm not very good in a classroom sort of setting. I never was. I was kind of a clown in high school - got suspended a lot.

Growing up, I wasn't an athlete or anything like that. The only place I felt like I belonged was in the theater.

I try to have all my characters have a sense of humor. To me the most interesting thing is a desperate character. I think desperation is funny.

I seem to be able to get along with anybody when I work because I really enjoy being there.

I don't go see big, silly movies. I like small things about regular folks, you know?

I've met people I wished I hadn't met. But Al Pacino was not one of them. For a guy who's old enough to be my father I feel like we're kindred spirits. We have a lot in common. Our families and our history with our families is very similar. Our relationships with our families is very similar. We had a lot more in common than I thought.

I'm getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage.
