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.

Acting is kind of difficult to intellectualize - it's a far more visceral experience. It's really hard to be able to think about and then employ these kind of esoteric notions of this person's backstory and try to weave it in somehow. It's just kind of impossible.

The frustrating part of being a movie actor is waiting in your trailer to do two takes of a scene you've prepared for two months.

I think there's nothing more wonderful than using fiction to reflect real-world cultural ideas.
