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

I've been on the stage my entire life as an actor.

When I was growing up, I was always on stage but I loved other things.

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.

We all have so many different elements inside of us and we're not all one thing.

John Cusack and I have been friends since childhood, and the fact that we're in so many films together is, no pun intended, serendipitous.

You can't make people who you want them to be. That was a hard lesson for me.
