Everybody should be normal. Everybody should be nice. I think they go hand in hand, and that to me is the default setting.

Well, it might have been if I'd had success earlier in life, but having success that much later meant I was far more grounded when it came. The last few years of my life have just been surreal and after a lifetime of disappointment and heartache and rejection, I still don't believe this is all actually happening. I'm extremely grateful for my success - I just never expect it to last and my motto, if I have one, is just put your head down and do the job.

Nothing to me feels as good as laughing incredibly hard.

For the better part of my adult life, I proudly avoided nerd/nimrod/goober status. I was always just cool enough.

Everybody wants to be a Bond villain. That is the coolest. To be able to portray a Bond villain, that is the feather in any actor's cap.

That's an interesting way to put it: an expectation of who you should be. More often than not, it's described as an expectation of who you are.

I can get lazy. I don't think I'm a very driven person. When I have work, I work very hard. But when I don't work, I really don't do anything. I could easily just fade away.
