I don't know how to be like a Bill Murray or a Will Ferrell, these guys who know how to make a line funny just by, I don't know, some extra-sense perception. I only know character and emotion and real acting; that's all I know how to do.

I had [at school] my own little posse of people that all felt weird together so it wasn't so lonely.

Actors in general are pretty good bullshit artists; we're good at just chewing the fat, interacting with people. So we're good ambassadors for movies.

From the first time I did a movie, people have said, 'Oh, it's all going to change now.' And it would change, but very incrementally. I think I prefer that to some big explosion of fame all of the sudden.

I view my strongest competition as myself. You're always trying to top yourself, rather than worrying about what other people are doing.

Hollywood is an illusion. These intense workplaces, with very close relationships, a few months at a time - and then it ends.

I find people attractive for more subtle reasons than just the way they look.
