Im able to hang up the character with the costume at the end of the movie.

After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.

It's not even about being negative. It's just being unsettled, unsatisfied, unfinished.

Talent is one thing, it is how you nurture and develop it, and never walk away from it. You can be rich, successful, you win awards, but it can always be better.

Sometimes you walk away from playing somebody and you think, "Wow that was far as from my own experience as I can possibly be." And sometimes you walk away thinking, "Wow. There are qualities in that character that I didn't realize I had." And those can be both interesting and uncomfortable.

I dont categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I dont judge; I just play them.

Pushing the boundaries of what is expected of you is important to me.
