I've never worked during the summer. I take summers off.

I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.

Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.

I meet people who are in movies, and the stuff that they write is terrible, but nobody tells them that because they're famous. So I worry that my stuff might be like that, too.

I have a job that requires me to be in the public eye in the way that makes me extra careful about sharing information.

I write plays, and I have a musical that's starting to get produced now. That's what I would love to do, but it's so hard. The only reason people are reading my plays and musicals is because I'm in movies.

Actors dread working with studios because they dictate what you do in a way that independent movies can't.
