I've worked with a lot of really famous people. It stops being weird really quickly. For me, at least.

So often you're asked to play impossibly perfect version of yourself on screen that it's nice to get to bring in those parts that you think aren't as worth looking at.

Most of the things I'm talking about are essential human rights. I don't think it should be political to say that children should be able to have lunch at school when their families can't afford to feed them properly, or to say women should have access to basic health care, or that Muslims deserve equal protection under the law, or police shouldn't be killing black people and getting away with it - it shouldn't be a political thing to say. A lot of people on the right standing behind Christian values should be standing with us, because equality is a basic tenet of Christianity.

I think most actors jump at the chance to do something where the camera's on them all the time.

I never wanted to be a playwright.

And when I get bored, it's like the worst parts of me come out. I really veer to self-destructive tendencies quickly.

Nothing's going to come to you by sitting around and waiting for it.
