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

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 would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title.

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 have to warn you: I bet horses like a girl.

I think you get the parts that people are comfortable with seeing you play. I get that. And I don't shy away from those parts.

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.
