I was already devouring literature and I was the ripe old age of 15 when I decided to be an actor. I just thought plays were the most fantastic way of expressing life. I thought I'd discovered Shakespeare - 'hey, there's a new guy in town, don't know if anyone's read him.' I was just excited about the whole thing, from day one.

I fell in love with film. I didn't start out to be a film actor. I wanted to be a theater actor.

Working in this industry, I do feel that science and creativity turned out to be a very useful combination for me.

When I first had my eyebrows waxed, I was pretty disturbed.

The thing about film is it is a very precise form. You know if you have it and you know if you don't have it. There's not really a middle bit where you're like, "I think we kind of have that scene."

I'm in favor of anything that promotes greener solutions.

David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He's incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing.
