I've been lucky enough to go back and forth.

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

The desert feels Irish in a way - lonely and barren. If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.

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

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'm a huge fan of things like The Wire and The Shield.

One thing that's interesting is that whenever something starts, like the school year when you were a kid, it feels like such a significantly huge time in your life and how much life has changed. What's surprising is how quickly it's going by.
