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

[As an actor] you're looking to crawl into an anonymous fictional person's skin, but then you have the ironic obligation to promoting the movie in such a public way that it almost undermines the initial intention of going under the radar.

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.

I think it's a room full of insecure actors, which is ultimately very comforting.

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

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.
