I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.

I heard I'm going to have scenes with Lady Gaga so I'm hoping it's true. I know of one scene I have.

I haven't talked much about being an ovarian cancer survivor because I don't really want to define myself that way.

A lot of guys come up talking about The Waterboy. I get a lot of that. Misery, Delores Claiborne and The Waterboy, those are the main ones I get.

Drama comes more naturally to me. It's the comedy you really have to delve into.

The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.

And people are always saying: 'Well, you go to Hollywood and you get yourself a film career or a TV series, and then you can do anything you want. Because then you've got the clout.' That had always sounded like a lot of hooey to me, but now I think it's true, unfortunately.
