I remember thinking, 'I'll audition just once and if it doesn't work out I'll never think about it ever again.'

I think at some point every actor has practiced their acceptance speech while they're having a shower. It's fun.

I keep mementos from everything I've done. I've got my cab driver's license from 'Happiness.' I've got a pair of glasses and a belt buckle from playing John Lennon. I've got a pair of sunglasses from playing Andy Warhol... It's all in a box in the garage.

I like challenges. If you're involved, as one is, in filmmaking, you want to challenge yourself. You don't want to repeat what you're done before.

It's important to keep auditioning. If you're auditioning for something, you're auditioning for a role that people can't see you in and you need to convince them that you're the right person.

When you see natural disasters caught on film you realize how well they had been imagined by Hollywood for such a long time. It's all good fun. You never know who's gonna survive and who doesn't.

Matt Weiner is an amazing writer. He's one of the best, greatest writers that's ever written for television, or just written.
