I love making movies, I love the differentness of it, I love writing. But I've always liked television. I grew up on television.

I think I've been in situations where they looked at me and just see some rich white guy - they don't see me at all.

Anyway, I try to be a good guy. I try to tell the truth, but I'm not religious.

It sure is boring to be around people who are in character all the time. I always find it's closer to mental illness than acting excellence.

Emotions are the natural result of striving for something. Every single scene has two or more people in it, and nobody wants the same thing, so they are negotiating this one way or another. The result of that negotiation will bring out all kinds of emotional stuff in you.

I'm not much of a preparer. I think sometimes as an actor you need to go out and learn some skills, but in terms of preparation for understanding the character, it's all on the page, and if it's not on the page, you're in trouble.

I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.
