It's so easy to get caught up in your own self-doubt when you're writing. It can be so easy to tell yourself, "Who am I kidding?"

Every choice you make as an actor ends up being really influential on your life, because you're spending a lot of time working on this project, and you want to make sure you're making good choices and you're not making them for the wrong reasons. I just want to be careful and not jump into anything.

I don't think anyone cares whether you're working or not. I have the luxury now of not having to support anyone and not really needing a whole lot of money.

I turned down the lead role in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, because that idiot Oliver Stone didn't think the character should play the alto sax.

My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer.

You try to pick good stories, and that's pretty much all the control you have as an actor.

I kind of end up getting caught up in whatever the rhythm of the movie is and how open the director is to changing things in the moment or finding it in rehearsal.
