If you show up in L.A. with your shirt inside out or socks mismatched, people start putting change in your cup.

When a performance isn't working, it's usually because the actor is trying to do something and they're not able to express their idea very well. It's a muddled expression.

My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.

I'd like to never be able to get pigeonholed, which is difficult to do.

I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.

I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.

When you're the guy behind the camera, you're aware of the reasons for the compromises or the changes that get made. As an actor, you go and do your thing, and someone else down the line then does all the math and goes, "We can't include that thing where he's pretending to be dumb and needling those people, because it takes a minute and a half, and it ruins the next scene. It doesn't make sense." If you're directing, you're the one doing that.
