I am very excited to work with people who have a strong vision of what they want. They're trying to tell a story, and they want to use me. I'm there to facilitate that. I really like that. I'm like, "Tell me where your frame is. Tell me what you want, what kind of story you want, and I will facilitate it." That's sort of my job, and it makes my work better when I'm working in that kind of a frame, and hopefully it's their work. It's incredibly collaborative, in the sense that you're working toward a common goal.

My schedule, it always looks like it's really steady, but believe it or not, I tend to work a bunch and then take a year off.

I don't really care if people like a character ornot; I think in life we don't always like everybody. But you haveto be able to understand them.

It was a great circumstance when I received the script of [Chloe] and Atom [Egoyan] said he wanted me to do it. I was inclined to say 'yes' immediately.

Movie studios aren't making too many dramas anymore; they're in the superhero business. Material for television is much, much stronger for actors now.

Comedy is ridiculously hard. And if the rhythm is not right, if the music or the line is not right, it's not funny.

We impose order and narrative on everything in order to understand it. Otherwise, there's nothing but chaos.
