I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it. Actually, when I did theater, I used to have a partner, and that was the way we used to write a lot of our sketches, through improvisation. So it's something I feel comfortable with.

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

Really interesting things come because you don't know what the rules are, what you can and can't do.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.

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

It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I started acting.
