I'm not an ad-libber. If I'm asked to ad-lib, I can ad-lib forever and it's really fun to do that, but I find that well-written scripts are put together very carefully. Once you start to ad-lib and add words to sentences, there's a slacking that happens. When it's good writing, it's taut. I'm not judging people who do ad-lib.

One of the best things about humans is we recognize patterns, so we get things like science, music, philosophy. One of the worst things is that we see patterns that are not there so we get things like racism, homophobia and Jerry Falwell.

For me, chemistry is trust. If you have trust you can risk together. It's like a partnership and it means you can have fun together while jumping off a mountain. I have not always been able to get good trust with an acting partner. One of the best was Juliet Landau; I always felt safe with her. Chemistry has nothing to do with physical attraction - that often gets in the way.

I love anybody who has convictions enough to make mistakes because only people who make mistakes get into enough trouble to be called drama, I think.

I don't have a computer - I don't like to get into it that much 'cause it can screw with your head a little.

I was uncomfortable with smoking too much because a lot of young kids watch and I didn't want to make that cool.

When you listen to Prince you have no idea what decade it's from. It's beyond time.
