I was dissatisfied just being an actor.

A dream that you don't fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.

I think everybody has a little bit of an asshole inside of them.

I'd read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell's stuff for a long time.

Whatever the best scripts are and you just want to play roles that you can really sink your teeth into. That's always the goal no matter if it's a good guy or a bad guy, or a comedy, or a drama. It doesn't matter, you just want something that's substantial you can sink your teeth into and that you haven't done before, something that's really going to challenge you.

But usually I'll wake up and start writing about nine o'clock. I'll probably write for about three hours, and I'll do that over the next month and a half.

I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
