I know some amazing actors who are not mortified every moment of the day, so my feeling is that maybe you don't have to be a wreck to be good.

When you're acting in a movie, you never consider the reception of it. It's impossible to predict how something will be received. Even if you think it's the greatest thing in the world, other people might not like it. Or agree with it.

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.

I feel very guilty doing magic because you're deceiving somebody.

I feel equal parts lucky and scared anytime I get a job.

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.
