Meryl Streep's brilliant, just brilliant. I've been fortunate to do two movies with Meryl. And for an actor to go moment to moment like she does, there's no one better. And she dances between moments. Each take is different because she's riding instincts, she's riding impulses. And she trusts that.

I also write plays, so I understand the writers mind, and how obsessed you can get writing.

There's not a single job in this town. There's nothin', nada, zip. Unless you wanna workforty hours a week.

There are so many projects that you go into hoping the story works, and here comes a new third act and that kind of thing.

I never said, 'I'm going to be a big star.' I said, 'I'm going to be a good actor.' And that took the pressure off.

Everything’s a story, kid. Stories are what help us make sense of the world.

And that's one thing that helps me is I learn it blandly, vanilla, then I don't try to act it too soon because you start to act it, and you kind of go away from what the next sentence is, what the next paragraph is. So get it down so it kind of can - it's in there so you can then, as I call it, dance on top of it.
