Not many get a chance to hit the career re-set button.

Acting is just playing the violin in an orchestra. Directing is being the conductor.

Jennifer Aniston and I have always just really gotten along well... I was just fortunate to be a good fit for parts in her films.

It is one of the few elements in the process that a director really, really can't control: an actor's performance. If you have a director that understands that, it's comforting to an actor. You're starting the relationship more as a collaborator, rather than as an employee or some kind of a soldier trying to execute something you don't organically feel.

My comedic instinct, is a little bit more rooted in - my mother's British so I've always been more of the dry receiver of the crazy as opposed to the initiator of the crazy. I'm kind of predisposed to be the straight man.
