The trend now is to shoot in Canada because it's cheaper, and they don't care what the location is.

I hope I don't make it sound like it's this big to-do, but even putting on real cufflinks takes work.

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

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.

I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don't know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York.
