I like playing weird, kind of shady people.

I definitely have a tendency to only see the blemishes of things, and see lots of things about my acting that I don't like. I think I've gotten a little easier on myself, or at least a little more usefully critical of myself. I think before, I just couldn't take looking at myself at all.

Come on, man.... Hemingway, Sexton, Plath, Woolf. You can't kill yourself before you're even published.

I get tired of myself pretty fast.

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

Well, you know, when people say stuff about you, it's always really flattering. But does it mean anything to me? It's not really real to me; there's no reality to it.

I'm not a big wine guy. And bars, I never go to bars anymore. It's such a drag, man.
