I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.

I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

I really enjoy working with younger actors. I just feel like we're all peers together.

For the camera, particularly, I feel like - I think that, as human faces become older, they become more interesting.

I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else.

I don't want to leave New York and leave my family. I don't like the distance. I just did a movie in California and it's kind of excruciating to be away from them so I think there is that sense.

I actually think the reason I am interested in certain parts is because I was such a dweeb in high school. When you are such a loser, it's a helpful way in to a lot of characters because even very powerful people are not all that powerful really. They all had a high school. That vulnerability is completely permanent and, as an actor, it's a good thing.
