Usually I play people who just keep babbling on and on and on.

I just love the process of working with other actors.

I think that taking night trains or meeting someone on the road is pretty romantic. I've done a couple of things like that. I've surprised someone in Paris. And hopefully, when you surprise someone, they're happy to see you.

Hopefully as you get older you get more selfless. That would be probably a good goal. I don't know if we do, though.

I think everything has some politics to it. It's just whether or not it admits to it. Politics is weird. I don't even know what that means any more.

My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player before anyone. So he got Mel Brooks movies or Citizen Kane or some classic old movies. And every summer the revival house in Evanston would show the great films from the '50s and '60s and '70s.

Radical Islam and US exceptionalism are in bed with each other. They're like lovers, methinks.
