I think patience is a skill and I wish I had it.

I'm a big Philip Roth fan. I think "American Pastoral" is the great American novel of the past 30 to 40 years. It's a novel about what happened in the 1960s, and I think America is still dealing with what happened then. It's devastatingly sad.

I've got huge tubs full of X-Files memorobilia that I can sell on eBay.

If you're smart, you'll always be humble. You can learn all you want, but there'll always be somebody who's never read a book who'll know twice what you know.

Approaching a part or thinking about taking a part, I never think, 'Is that person like me?'

I'm always trying to perfect the romantic comedy, though.

My whole life, Ive wanted things before I was ready. I was always pushing for the next job, the next success. I was so focused on achieving and the path that I was missing some great point about life.
