I don't like to be walking around in a vacuum, lost in my own thoughts. I'm much better with information.

I want to do films I can relate to emotionally.

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

My mistakes do happen on a grand scale and very public level. They're humiliating, embarrassing. But if nothing bad happens to you, you'll just continue to act ridiculous.

I enjoy the process of TV; I like the pace of it; I like the continual work.

As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.
