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

People have something on their mind. It almost feels [on marches against now-President Donald Trump] like after-tragedy. People seem sort of preoccupied.

I don't think I've played a lot of crazy people.

I always like [while filming] to have a sense of what led this person to this point.

Even just reading "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore,"I got a sense of the world and the story [Macon Blair] wanted to tell. And then I had a meeting with him and understood how he likes to work. I really trusted him from the beginning.

Sometimes you just feel so fortunate to be in the company that you're in and you just want to soak it all up.

I'm pretty active, so I wasn't really worried [about filming "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" ]. But there was a day when I was like, "God, I've been rowing for two hours."
