I've had really great experiences working with first-time directors. They come at filmmaking with fresh ideas. I've been very lucky that way.

My wife, whenever I'd go off to work and I'd be kind of anxious, she'll say, 'Remember, have fun.' Oh, I forgot, thanks for the reminder. Because sometimes we do forget. We take it all too seriously and there's a lot of joy to be had wherever you are.

Words fall short sometimes.

There are some actors that want you to call them by their character's name and they have no relationship with you outside of the character. But I like to get to know who I'm working with so that we can relax together, and it's more fun.

I'm not locked into playing one guy.

You have that Frank Capra kind of side to it and the characters are really well drawn, so I think everybody tried their best to stay faithful to the script.

I remember being on a black-and-white set all day and then going out into daylight and being amazed by the colour.
