A script is like a theory of a movie.

I am one of those people who is not very patient in the makeup chair. I have been offered movies like 'Planet of the Apes' and stuff like 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas' and I turned them down.

I don't deliberately go into comedy or go into indies, but I do deliberately try to keep changing tact, because I think that is the key to longevity in a career.

People say, 'Don't you get tired of people coming up to you all the time?' But what's wrong with strangers saying they love you?

Whatever the reasons that I turn things down, I'm always happy when there's a good result, and I can enjoy it as a movie, you know? I don't feel like, 'Oh man, that was really good. I should have done it.' You have to make the decisions you have to make, whether it has to do with your family or repeating a character or whatever it is.

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

Why people pick me for the roles that they do is a bit of a mystery.
