I am an avid runner, mainly on weekends.

Mike Nicholls saw me in the musical of The Full Monty and brought me in to audition for Angels in America for HBO. And that opened a lot of doors because you could go to LA and say: "Well, I'm starring opposite Al Pacino and Meryl Streep..."

When I look at a character, whether he's good or bad, one scene or 10 scenes, I just have to find my way in.

I think your teenage years define your musical roots forever. You're always looking for a theme for your high school years.

I don't concentrate on if a moment is scary or not. That's not my job.

I think you have to pick and choose what is most important to tell the story.

You never want to judge your character.
