When you do a play, you have the kind of nightly feeling of accomplishment. But you also have the daily dread of the doing it every night. And because you're doing the whole thing every day, it's like climbing up the mountain every single night. With a movie it's like climbing the mountain very slowly, over months of filming.

I'm no good at really anything that involves motor skills.

As for environmentalism, I'm only an environmentalist by accident. I live in New York, so I bike, and the closest grocery store to me sells organic produce. I also shop with a book bag because I ride a bike, and it's hard to carry the paper or plastic bags.

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

Who walks around proud of things they've done? That's an obnoxious quality.

I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.

Acting forces me to socialise, which is good for me, I think.
