I never get to wear a suit in my life, much less a tuxedo. It's kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.

Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.

I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.

I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.

I don't really get recognized.

I was that 'awkward-didn't-understand-his body-kind of-uncomfortable teen.'

I love that you work out relationships with people as you're filming just to get something real to play on screen.
