I'd never read a piece of television where it's an hour script and it's perfect.

My life is really precious. I don't want to spend it watching ambient TV that just drifts through you. I've got better things to do.

Ring tones are just irritating, aren't they?

I like doing things that are very wildly different. I find that the meat and vegetables of being an actor is doing things that are completely different, all the time.

One of the reasons a lot of actors go into the business is that for a short period of time, you get to be other people who you can only fantasize about being, by and large.

I often think that drama helps people feel less lonely about things.

You need to be disciplined and you need to try to occupy a zone of acting that is always quite scary because you don't think you're doing anything.
