I did an HBO movie called Undefeated that I directed. It was too hard.

Don't confuse the beginning of my world with the breakup of yours.

Bryan Cranston has got such an incredible light touch. He comes in egoless, but with bold opinions, and he wants to play. He wants to play. And that's what I've seen in great actors all my life and what I've always tried to nurture and keep in myself is that joy of playing.

At Murry Bergtraum High I wanted to be as different from my father as possible. So I acted out in school, I was very anti-authority.

I love independent films, it's the only place as an actor you're totally allowed to breathe.

I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.

I had to get the voice back, the precise pitch of Sid's voice and I'd forgotten that I'd pitched him higher than my regular voice, so that was a little difficult to begin with. It was especially hard because we started recording in the morning so I had to warm up a lot and my usual voice is a little more gravelly.
