A lot of people say, "What's the worst part about being an actor?" And the worst part is that you're not a musician.

There are lots of things that you can go down the list and say, "Oh, these are cliches, we've seen this before, just hits every checkpoint." All of that takes a secondary status for me if I'm reading something and I just really like the characters.

Venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.

I never thought of myself as a comedic actor. I didn't go to Second City, that's not my background, I'm not a comic, I studied theater and my career when I started was a lot of dramatic stuff.

I'm sure that my wanting to be an actor had to do with a need for approval.

My sense of stand up comedy would be so esoteric.

Nothing is ever cut-and-dried. There's anguish behind everything.
