My tone and my style are reflected in the movies I choose to make. I want to make big movies. My dream is to be Jon Favreau or Ben Affleck.

I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.

Being onstage is like being rock star. Whereas if you're doing a movie, it's such a confined space. You know, you do a comedy, it's so hard, too, 'cause with a comedy, there's no vocal reaction, there's no energy that you get back that spurs you on to be funnier because everyone has to be quiet.

The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.

I always think that I'm the best thing in a lot of bad movies. Personally, I have to. I think that I like me as an actor.

To me, the punk rock kids I grew up with were really, really smart, and to me, respecting those kids was a really big deal.

I think everyone is given drama, by virtue of the fact that we all have drama in our lives, but not everyone can make people laugh.
