I think the better the show usually it means that you've got a lot of good people, because it's sustaining itself. If there's negative energy, things tend to break down ultimately.

I'm always an agent or a lawyer or a doctor or a banker. I'm always wearing a tie.

My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.

If it's a good role, I'm happy to play it.

Anything government or politics is always exciting for me.

I know I'm going to sound like an idiot, because I actually think that everybody's the nicest guy ever, but I'm telling you: George Clooney, Roland Emmerich, Sidney Lumet - these are literally the nicest people.

I was spending three days literally just kibitzing with Jack Nicholson at a table! It was heaven! And talk about a normal guy. My God, he was just so real and cool and relaxed and fun. And he was a great performer. He's such an actor. He really was so focused on every moment. It was great.
