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.

I'm not a Hollywood party guy.

I'm a guy who is a little bit complicated and is a little bit in his own head and is not the most free-spirited, fun-loving kind of guy.

People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

Improvisation, for me, is when the cameras start rolling, we don't know where we're going and let's just waste people's time and money.

And I've always loved commercials. I like working out how to organically weave a brand's message into the writing process. It's like an improv show, where comics ask the audience to throw out a word and a skit is built around it.

I think the internet is a huge positive.
