There's a rhythm to script [ in "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore"], as well, especially the pacing of it. But there definitely were times when I would say something and [ Macon Blair] would say, "I didn't think to deliver it like that" or, "I didn't think it had that meaning." And he'd say, "I like it. I think it's good." So he's open. He's not battering it into you.

Some scripts are pretty sparse.

New Zealanders can be a little hostile.

The interesting thing about acting is using all your own stuff and having some kind of personal catharsis while you're working.

The acting life is different than I thought it would be. I love it - it's actually a lot less pressure than I thought it would be.

I've definitely had times in my life where I've been depressed and not able to do anything at all.

I know my mother-in-law would drive two hours to go see a movie that I'm in.
