The villain is usually the most interesting part. But it has to be a smart thing. Just dumb cliché villains with a Russian accent and big muscles and a mean face, I don’t know. My Russian accent isn’t that great, and the muscles aren’t that big and the mean face is not enough. You know what I mean? It gets very boring. Tedious stuff.

I'm very bad with improvisation. I hate it.

Stephen Sondheim I am in awe of.

I'm trying to be very aware of not repeating myself.

Facts can be so misleading, where rumors, true or false, are often revealing.

I'm not into weapons. I'm not into cars. I'm not into explosions. I'm scared of all of that.

A silly comedy needs a straight guy, and that guy needs to be as straight as possible. The moment you start playing straight you're not straight anymore, you're bent straight, so it really requires the usual serious, straight-forward analysis and research, looking into it and finding the dramatic function, all of what you do until you feel you've collected enough points to safely and securely play the part.
