Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids.

I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.

One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.

I'm not the kind of actor who goes into exhaustive research for each role.

Film is very much about capturing the essence of things - if you feel it, and you've got the right person shooting it, it'll come across. Theater's a different animal; it's physically different and requires a different discipline. In the theater, you're mining the same material, constantly honing the same thing, executing it and keeping it alive and fresh.

I think there is a lot of overexplaining both in writing and acting. People don't need to be hit on the head.

I'm a big fan of comedies and dramas, and I watch tons of movies.
