I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.

The ideal way to approach a character is to find something in yourself that relates in some way.

As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.

I think it's my nature to - every time I hear about an award or a nomination, it makes me realize how much I must've been losing before, because I was not aware that every major city had these critics' awards.

I'm not into music - the only music I like is musical theater, but I have every Ween album.

When you take on a role you try to do as much as possible beforehand to get your mind into it. Just to prepare because it's a daunting prospect to go six months or whatever.

I personally don’t feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn’t if I tried anyway.
