There's a certain kind of existential freedom that comes to people who realize that all the things that they hold onto and that they think define them, once they're gone, there's this new freedom to determine the way you're going to live your life.

I played on this soccer team, called Hollywood United, and there were a lot of old ex-international pro-players. We played this benefit match at the Rose Bowl, and the crowd streamed in. It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.

San Diego was fantastic. I think there's something about San Diego that is quite different than Los Angeles.

There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.

I don't know why I don't watch the Oscars. It's not bitterness or anything; it just seems weird.

Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.

I remember working on movies like Gettysburg and feeling that Jeff Daniels was kind of a mentor.
