I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.

I wouldn't say I'm a political junkie. I follow it. I read a few articles every day.

Usually if a scene's really hard to write, I just don't write it. Nothing's coming to mind.

Even from a really young age I was a huge movie buff - five, six, seven, eight. Just loved movies, but in a more in-depth way than most kids that loved movies at that time. I'd find a filmmaker or something and want to see all his movies.

It seems to me that our presidential elections have turned more into a popularity contest than a real analysis about who really should be President of the United States.

I've found that sitting around and obsessing about projects moving forward, when there's actually nothing I can do about it, at a certain point, is really counter-productive.

I spent so many years of my life as a stage actor and when you do all these plays, a lot of really great plays are very politically driven. They deal with deep social issues, and that's the kind of stuff that I love, as an audience member.
