I push myself as hard as I can. Sometimes that can be painful and stressful but inthe end it's worth the price... I like to play characters that I can draw from in my own life. I've invested so much of my life into my work that I almost don't have any choice.

I got a call from Tom Hanks, who directed That Thing You Do!, when he was done cutting that film. I was like, "Oh, my god. Tom Hanks is calling me. This is amazing!" And then, of course, he was calling me to tell me that I was barely in the movie. But I'll never forget it - and this is why he's Tom Hanks, because he's got such a way with words.

I stand by every mistake I've ever made, so judge away.

Hate me for who I am, I don't care. At least I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not.

People sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I'm too earnest and it's coming across like I'm better than them.

There are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it's subjective.

Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are
