Page one of the script, I launch into, "How would I feel if I were in this position?" That's an actor's job.

What's fascinating about acting is that you put yourself in somebody else's mind or in their shoes.

You know, what I like about 'The Family Tree' is it's a kitchen sink movie; you can't think of anything that it doesn't either throw into the story for conflict or poke fun at or attack, even, so I like it.

I was a film student. I became an actor but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

Like everyone else, I try to do quality work with great directors. But much of it has to do with luck.

Whatever you hold onto that you want to do, and that other people tell you you are foolish to want to do, don't give up.

What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling.
