I actually had some funny dialogue [ in Stardust Memories], a little piece, and we shot all day in this big ballroom. Gordon Willis was the director of photography, and at the end of the day, Gordon turned to Woody Allen and said, "We cannot accomplish all of this in this space. It's impossible." And we'd been rehearsing and trying to shoot this thing all day. So Woody said, "Okay, let's do something else." He looked at me and said, "Come back tomorrow, I'll put you in something else." And he did.

I've gotten such good feedback from that [re-team with Wil Wheaton for Big Bang Theory appearance], and I hardly did anything.

[Independence Day] was a sweet, sweet job, because it was one of those big surprises.

And, you know, when you are a kid, everybody wants to be an actor. I think that everybody wants to be in show business, frankly.

Hollywood has more than its share of harsh and crewel stories. In fact, it's probably more the norm than the exception.

It just occurred to me that there are some beautiful shots [in Rent Control] with the World Trade Center in the background.

I had a really nice time on [Alphas]. It was a bunch of really good actors, and I was particularly thrilled to be working with David Strathairn.
