When I was in New York, I was making a living. We had a summer house and a car that I could put in a garage. That's something for a stage actor.

There are statistics out that say 20 year olds, 18 years olds think about sex 90 percent of the time. They only don't think about sex when they're eating, and that's rare.

So many actors spend so much energy trying to remember the lines. It's so foolish. Guys are the worst.

It's not good for people to have the safety net too low... People can take care of themselves better than we allow them to.

I've always felt it's the directors purview to say what; it's the actor's purview to say how. It's not good for an actor to have the big picture in mind - it bollocks you up. An actor's purview is the tiny little... We measure our performance in seconds.

I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.

All modesty aside, I think I'm good at reading scripts. The way I read a script is as fast as I can, all in one sitting, and I don't read many of the stage directions. I only read enough stage directions to let me know where I am, because they're always so verbose and mostly horseshit. So I only read the dialogue, which allows me to see the movie in my mind's eye in real time.
