I like playing weird, kind of shady people.

I feel like in a lot of ways I've gotten kind of soft as an actor, not doing stage stuff. In terms of being a better actor, it's really important.

I'd like to have permanent time off, really. The goal is financial security and permanent time off, basically.

Academia is a rarified culture, especially an Ivy League academic background.

I think I have a tendency to overwork things. I have a hard time finding that sweet spot that most actors seem to be able to hit where they're doing the exact right amount of work, not overthinking, not underdoing it. I seem to either overdo it or underdo it.

I married a Jewish lady, and we're raising our son Jewish, and since I'm not Jewish the whole thing is just a mystery to me. I leave it to her, actually, because it's just a great mystery.

I don't consider myself a very interesting person. I have the mentality of a supporting actor.
