I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

I like working with a first time director. I'm more likely to work with a first time director than I am a second time director.

If no one on the movie has met me before or knows me, that's the easiest. I don't do a lot of things that don't relate to being the person. I will try to keep it going for my other actors. I want them to do the least amount of pretending as possible.

Usually the way I think someone is radicalized is through a personal experience. The thing about environmental activism is that we are all having a personal experience with our environment, whether we open our eyes or not.

If all the circumstances of acting are made to easy, then there's no grain of sand to make the pearl.

Who would I least want to hang out with? Probably John Lotter. I guess I have a place of understanding for everyone I've played.

I just pick the best roles that are left over, and they usually aren't the heterosexual, leading-man, non-drug-addict parts. And once you get into doing them, people know you do them.
