I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side. But if I don't enjoy something, I'll put it down.

We are so vocal about what we hate.

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?”

The purpose of fiction is to combat loneliness.

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

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