The one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more.

I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

If you're onstage and you're improvising and nothing's happening, people are racing for the door. But the director can go shopping later and pick up pieces and moments and insert them.

Improv is not something I had a lot of experience with, because for a long time, my only experience in front of a camera was all television, which is pretty rigid script-wise, except for the occasional scene where you toss in an ad-lib just to elongate something.

I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

There is many different paths of a career. I bounce around and do a lot of different things. It suited me that hopefully I am prepared to do different kinds of styles, genres, or whatever you want to call it.
