I considered a lot of different jobs as a kid. I thought about becoming a priest or a lawyer. My father had a big linen-supply business and I considered working for him. What dawned on me was: 'If I'm an actor, I get to do the fun parts of every job!' Without having to go to four years of law school.

If you get made fun for the way you look, then maybe wearing the same thing every day is the best way to protect yourself.

I was never a very dependable employee for anything. Perfect for the actor's life!

I'm much more character based. I try to just be really committed to what I'm doing.

I was a founding member of the 'Dungeons and Dragons' club at my high school. I was in chorus, I was in swing choir. I was an outcast but I was an outcast among a group of outcasts.

It's kind of liberating to be able to bring your own ideas to things, but it's also a lot of pressure, it's like screenwriting on your feet.

Life is often confusing and sad, and I'm a big fan of the slap and the tickle, as they say.
