If you start acting and you start thinking about and worrying about what other people are going to say about it, you'll never really fully commit to who it is and what it is that you're playing.

If I think something's funny, I think it's funny.

In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare

The best way to learn anything is through a movie, because you have so much time to do it and you have great people teaching you.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

Just by the nature of what we do it kind of gets you out of the regularities of life. Playing pretend for a living is a good way to have a release and playing make believe is a good way of getting away from it and doing things like this. So I think work gets me away from life.

I played pretend games as a kid, army, whatever, but I never wanted to be an actor.
