I've got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don't like to do is shop.

There's a bit of the kid in me.

A large part of acting is just pretending. You get to work with these other great make-believers, all making believe as hard as they can.

I'm not locked into playing one guy.

It used to kind of upset me when I'd be working on a part in my hotel room, and I'd get an idea for a song and find myself on the guitar for an hour when I should be working on my lines. But I've discovered that when I start to shake up my creativity it wants to be expressed in all kinds of different ways. They all kind of inform each other.

As you become famous you lose some of your anonymity, which is wonderful for an actor to have because you can observe people and also people don't have such a strong sense of who you are and that sort of thing.

I've worked with a lot of first-time directors who kind of look to me for ideas and opinions and stuff, and I'm a team player.
