The discipline of live theater - doing the same perfect thing night after night, eight times a week - never ceases to amaze me

'Smurfs' just seemed like a great way to represent a young father to be, guy in a marriage, work in conflict, and I was really interested in the technical CG side of things. I'd never done a movie that I thought would be so physical and yet so precise. So I was intrigued by all of that.

With the Tonys it's a little tricky because a lot of the funnier jokes are more insider, so people watching at home may not get a Julie Taymor reference the way that New Yorkers would. So you have to figure out what comedy plays to a large audience and still respect the individuals who are there.

Parents need to be more accepting of who their kids are and less concerned about what society thinks they need to be.

I feel like with actors wanting to direct, you really only have a shot or two. You can't just make a bunch of little independent movies, and then finally one gets noticed. You have to make a really good one right away.

Charlie Sheen is who again? Denise is engaged?

I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.
