When you're in a place like New York or D.C. you just can't beat it, and it's so hard to recreate because they are both such distinctive places.

I was always curious about motivation and intention, and really, that's a lot of what acting is.

Actors, you know, they're often awkward people in real life.

I find that the most interestingly written parts happen to be the bad guys.

I'm drawn to people who share that sense of loss. All actors are trying to repair damaged relationships. I think that might be why I've been drawn to other actors.

I direct in the same way that I act, which is thinking about what the scene needs.

If I'm doing my job as an actor, the audience knows everything I know about the character.
