The only people who do plays in LA are people who can't get jobs in TV shows.

I do love comedy, but I'm not brave enough to tackle a script whose goal is to make you laugh. That's tough. The ones that can do it, I tip my hat off to them, but I don't have that kind of humor or mind.

When I watch a film I get swept away. I don't really watch the camera.

A good actor's director, first of all, is prepared, so there's not an exorbitant amount of wasted footage.

I don't know if it's fair to say that it's a bad time for movies. It seems to me that throughout the entire history of filmmaking, every year there have been about two really wonderful movies, about 10 others that are pretty good, and a whole pile of garbage.

Another mistake a director can make is not to be prepared, so you get there on the day to shoot the scene, and they don't know how it should be blocked, and they're not clear on how they want to do a scene.

I'm really proud of the writing on Door to Door, and I think that's the Emmy that meant the most - the writing.
