A lot of the things I've enjoyed the most and that I think have been the best are ensembles.

Because I'd only done theater, that's really what I thought most of my life would be. I always figured that movies would be a part of it at some point. I didn't know how or when.

I didn't want to do television at all. I really didn't want to do it. I really thought I was just going to be doing theater and doing movies.

In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.

I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.

When I was in school, in eighth grade, someone recognized something in me. She was an English teacher, and we read a play out loud in class, and she asked me to read one of the roles. I'd never done anything like that before, but something just lit up.

I'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.
