I've been in very few flat-out comedies. But I feel like I've always made comedies.

The director's very important to me, particularly when the director has a recognizable style.

Sometimes you make very interesting movies that aren't meant for everybody. But this is a capitalist society, so everything conspires to put value on whether it sells or not.

I prefer shooting on location, just because it always helps you. You go some place, you put your life on hold even more than when you've settled in some place. You can make a new life so it opens yourself up to the make-believe and the imagination in a way when you aren't burdened by things that remind you of your life all the time.

I don't think people are interested in my personal life. I've never had a Hollywood life. I've always been a worker.

The truth is I like the crazy ones better than the well-behaved ones normally because they tend to be the passionate ones. They never come after you if you're holding up your end. The only thing that's bad about an abusive director is that they bully the people they can.

I pride myself on being fairly polite on a set so it's kind of a guilty pleasure to poke others on the set.
