And when I was a kid being an actor was not cool. I'm thirty now and when I was a kid in the 80s that wasn't a cool thing to be.

I've worked with actors before where I was like, this is not working, and then I've seen their work on the screen and I've been like, Wow, that was a really great performance. Because there are a lot of elements with film. It's not like stage. It's not a kind of performance art anymore; it's a highly tuned kind of collaboration - a symphony.

But now I feel off the grid. I feel that I am not part of the culture. And because I don't have a car I don't really go anywhere to buy things. In fact, I have been in a slow process of selling and giving away everything I own.

I was, aged nine, the go-to kid in Minneapolis for a commercial voiceover.

I don't have a lot of money. I get some from Mad Men. But I don't think I'm rich.

You can't compare any job or any friendship or anything to another. I think if you do, it's kind of a recipe for disaster.

I learned a lot about acting from the people I worked with.
