I do a lot of improvising on movies, actually.

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

Improvisation, the main thing is it teaches you to be in the moment and present in the moment and be reactive and proactive for what's going on. Someone gives you something - a lot of actors are a little shut off, so they're just doing, "This is my character, these are my lines, I'm going to just send it to you then you send whatever you're sending." Improvisation teaches you to really be listening.

To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.

The kind of über-objective is to make people laugh. You always have to have that in the back of your mind, "Eh, I've got to figure out a way to make this funny."

I try to take things that challenge me either physically or mentally, or I have to learn a new skill.

The truth is, when you're at the track, it was an interesting thing about stock car racing as a sport, is you almost get more out of it watching it on TV.
