I think people are gravitating towards these period dramas because I think they're looking for a simpler time.

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

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

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 want to be radical on the inside, but not on the outside.

I grew up in the theatre.

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.
