I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.

I suppose that's my one little secret, the secret of my success.

I was a literature major in college and that was my thing, books.

I'm a technician. I don't go for the get-into-the-role stuff. I read the lines and play the scenes.

Otherness is a big thing for me. I'm always drawn to characters that live lives that I couldn't lead.

Let how you live your life stand for something, no matter how small and incidental it may seem.

I'd like to work more as a director. It's distracting being an actor, because - there's a lot of reasons. You find out you're going to work about six months before you start shooting, and then there's prep and there's post afterward, and there's stuff to do, and then suddenly you've gone a year without directing. There's a part of me that has to not be tempted by that in order to commit more to the directing. Honestly, the big reason for me to act is to observe other directors and learn from them. That seems to be the biggest draw.
