It takes time to understand yourself, to go inside yourself and to question yourself and really take yourself to task. That's self-expression.

The beautiful thing about acting is that you can go your whole life if you stay current and you stay fresh.

I had to work with Ben Mendelsohn who's one of the great actors of our time. I had a lot of scenes with him and I was thrilled to be on the set with him; I just wanted to see how we were going to play it.

I was always writing. I was writing in high school because it was a really competitive school for class clowns; I used to have to write all of my snaps and my disses the night before and then act like I was making it up the next day.

I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.

The more times you do something, the more likely it is you're going to get it wrong.

It might have been really cool back in the '50s when it was less populated but I don't know.
