I bought my daughter a Chihuahua and I fell in love with it. So now I carry Coco around with me all the time.

I wanted to get more serialized. I had this idea for an event that would click onto everybody's mortality. I said, "I want somebody to die." Fortunately for me, when I was toying with that idea, John Landgraf, who's the head of FX but also a very smart executive, came up with the idea of the ashes in the maracas. He called me up and said, "Listen, what about this, they get the ashes in a box and when they get them, they shake them and they sound like maracas." And I was like, "Okay, now I've got my throughline."

Every actor thinks he can do comedy, and it's not true.

I'm born and raised in the Northeast. My parents are Irish immigrants. So our tendency is to shy away from the big yellow ball that comes up in the sky every once in a while.

Usually when you watch a film, you're just sort of biting your nails about things you could have done differently.

When I'm on stage, that's me. It's blown up, but that's me.
