I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up.

All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days.

When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that and feeling like I was losing control.

Do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created here on earth?

It's always fun to get to do independent film because I believe that that's the life blood of film. It's about writers and directors who truly have their own vision, and that's hard.

I've had dentists who have wanted to help me out, but I say, 'You know, I won't work again if you fix my teeth.'
