Mercury poisoning sounds like a rich man's disease . . . like something you might get from the leather seats in your Lamborghini.

Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn't done my job.

I have a place in Chicago and I get there as much as I can... The city is so unbelievably beautiful. It's one of the greatest cities on the planet. My heart beats differently when I'm in Chicago. It slows down and I feel more at ease.

Robert Rodriguez is a genius, and I'm a huge fan of his.

I wrote a script and I've been whispering in director's ears for a really long time and I'd love to direct.

With me, growing up in a theater family and having them be so supportive, from the jump, and being a part of this theater community where the brass ring is working, wherever that is, and then to play a character where he's not really concerned with that and is really just concerned with the monetary aspect of the job, and then to be identified with someone who is the antithesis of your energy and where you come from, has been a very interesting and surreal ride.

I'm acting with the best actors in the world.
