I don't know if there's a lot of patience anymore. I think that could serve a lot of people.

All I've done is work... I arrived in Los Angeles in my early 20s and I've been pounding the pavement ever since.

It's your job as an actor to fill out the blanks. I love doing that. To fill in the bones.

I have been drumming my whole life.

The stage is my love, it's where I started and where I do my best work.

One of the great things that you should never do that I learned from John Malkovich is to never judge your characters.

I'm in the middle of just trying to impress my nieces, who think I work for the bus company because they saw a picture of me on a bus. I did an independent movie with Mark Pellington (I Melt with You), and then tried to impress my nieces again, by starring opposite Miley Cyrus (in So Undercover). So, basically I'm just trying to get some respect from my family.
