I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.

My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig.

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

Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.

I always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.

Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece.

It doesn't matter what part I play, I try and commit myself 100 percent.
