Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.

My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.

You know, I’m not saying, “Oh, because I play a good guy on TV, I need to suddenly be villainous in a movie.” I look at it more like: does this role has a kind of urgency for me in terms of, “can I not say no to it for whatever reason?”

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.

It's hard to explaining exactly what happened, but I felt in that moment that the divine, however we may choose to define such a thing, surely dwells as much in the concrete and taxi cabs as it does in the rivers, lakes, and mountains. Grace, I realized, is neither time nor place dependent. All we need is the right soundtrack.

Acting on stage is still my favorite thing to do. And everyone who's been in musicals knows that there is nothing more fun.
