One thing that stays pretty consistent for all my jobs is, I listen to a lot of music while I'm working.

I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.

Sometimes what someone else does is really not what you expected them to do, which to be honest, sometimes doesn't work.

Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history, people would gather around, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. One person would chime in, then another, maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.

"Music is something that professionals do and not something that I do." That's not natural. Music belongs to everybody.

I didn't really like doing commercials.

I know how to make an audience laugh, 'cause I grew up on Third Rock from the Sun, week after week in front of audiences, making them laugh.
