I just don't care that much about how famous I am. I care a lot about our world, and whether our planet will survive. It seems really low-stakes how many Twitter followers I have, in the grand scheme of things. In 80 years, who will care?

I was really surprised when I started working and realized that you're actually on your own, a lot of the time. It makes you really responsible, as an actor.

A lot of what I've had produced are plays, and I just don't want to do that. It's different than a movie, where you only have to act the scenes the one time, and you have other collaborators helping you make it better, so you don't feel as obsessed with your own mind. Plays you have to do every single night, and the thought of that is agony to me. There are days when you hate your own work, and you don't want to be confronted with that, have it coming out of your mouth or listening to somebody else say it to you. There are days you want to leave the theater and get a drink.

I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.

When we do something we're not proud of, a lot of people don't want to look at that, people may say "what people don't know won't hurt them."

I do not do my own taxes. It's too many forms. "Here are my 70,000 forms. I have no idea."I would be in jail.

It's a good thing I learned some humility and perspective as I got older.
