Sometimes films about oppression or suppression can be quite maudlin and quite dour. Sometimes you need a little sugar with the medicine and I think of myself as the little sugar.

I grew up in a house of forthright women.

In comedy it helps if there's a friendly atmosphere on the set.

When I say I hate nostalgia, I hate things set in the recent past where everything is shiny and new.

I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I'm the kid from 'The Wonder Years,' rather than Brad Pitt.

I definitely enjoy an audience, when I'm performing. As I get older I'm kind of less comfortable at being demonstrative. I always fancied myself as a raconteur, but that never really worked out.

I'm a Hawaiian shirt guy. I've made that life decision.
