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'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.

I had never really been around cards.

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

I like to box. It's a great release.

I grew up watching PBS and wanting to be a part of it, just like HBO.

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