We both [with Jo Andres] think that it is really important to our culture that we support all kinds of music, all kinds of theatre and all kinds of art because you never know what moves people. We've always believed that there should be a strong voice outside the commercial world. Certainly, the commercial world has a huge place in our culture and we also support that - but, we also want to support the stuff that lives outside of that.

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

I don't tend to think of the characters i play as losers. I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don't fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.

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.'

The director I had most involvement with was Alex Rockwell. He gave me a lot of responsibility as an actor.

Anything you write, even if you have to start over, is valuable. I let the story write itself through the characters.

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