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

I just like playing interesting, complex, complicated characters. I like films that also have an element of humor.

I don't blame any director for wanting to do something more commercial. That's all part of the business. I certainly have done it, as an actor.

I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.

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

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.

They're not supposed to show prison films in prison. Especially ones that are about escaping.
