It really shocks me when I encounter people who think kindness doesn't matter. Because I think it's pretty much the only thing that matters.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.

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?”

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense.

I've always been attracted to ensembles. When I started doing plays in high school and in college, I always loved the community aspect of it. I loved these little families that would develop.
