I have a good friend who's a Texas girl; Texas girls are a whole different breed.

Acting can be pretty challenging. I can't say making a romantic comedy is challenging, but to do anything well, you have to put yourself into it.

A lot of powerful people in Washington may think it's a crazy-leftist-fringe position to think the intellectual authors of a torture regime should be investigated and prosecuted.

Usually I do everything reverse. I practice something in movies and then I try it in real life.

It's a very frightening time when something as basic as due process is seen as somehow radical.

It's like those high-school yearbook photos that everyone would rather not see: Oh my God, look at that mullet hair. I have those photos too, but for me, they're, like, entire movies. And they show them on cable.

I never wanted to come off as self-important.
