You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn't expect. You have to follow.

If I'm not working, I don't feel complete.

I hate going to bed. I read scripts, clean, listen to the radio - I've fallen asleep to 'This American Life' more times than I can count!

I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.

I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.

I don't think a lot of people are like, "I'm just quirky!" Or if they are, it's a stage they're going through as they figure out who they are. I never felt like I was choosing roles that were quirky.

When my sister decided that she wanted to act, I was so nervous for her. She's doing great, but I have a lot of friends at every level of success as an actor, and we all go through periods of time where they feel like their worth isn't within their own control. That's a horrible feeling for an adult to have.
