Part of the fun of acting is the research, finding out about other people.

I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school and then I forgot about it completely. And then at about twenty-five I went to a class. I don't think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice. I don't think anybody thought I'd succeed, which is understandable. I think they were just happy that I was doing something.

Work-do plays, learn your craft, and go to school. Keep working. Nobody is going to give you jobs for going to parties or any of that nonsense. Go out, look around, do things.

Actors will say, 'My character wouldn't say that.' Who said it was your character?

I love hearing people laugh.

You know my feelings: every day is a gift. It's just, does it have to be socks?
