One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.'
There are maybe 100 actors I look up to, but my first two favourite actors were Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson.
One of my favorite things I read was John Steinbeck's journals while he was writing 'East of Eden,' which was so cool.
I think was overly empathetic for a while in my life.
Everything you do, every experience that you have, enlightens you a little bit or worsens you.
It's hard to talk about acting because I don't think it's quite as explicit as a lot of people might think. And that's probably the best thing about it.
To be running away from explosions with Harrison Ford, you know, that's pretty great.
The whole being-in-a-room interview thing, at a junket or a film festival, is very inhuman. You meet the person, have five or 10 minutes to talk, and it's not like a conversation.
Sometimes I think your intellect can get in your way as an actor or an artist. When you come from a world of improv and comedy, you're able to let it flicker and fall out.
In tragedy, it's hard to find a good resolution; it's not black and white: it's a big fog of gray.
I think that one of the strangest things about being an actor is, it's almost freelance work.
I don't normally like getting dressed up, but when I go to events, I like to look put together. I've got to say, getting in a nice suit feels good.
I like a restaurant called Bruci, and there's some really nice people who work there and good food. They change their menu a lot, so maybe that's what keeps me coming back. I never know what I'm going to get.
The way Hollywood works, you're never sure if their first thought is to make a great film and honor the material or just another business property.
I don't like to spend a lot of money on haircuts: I'll sometimes grow my hair and get an acting job and get them to cut it for free. I think for a lady, though, it's okay to spend a lot on a haircut.
Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn't work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music.
I like listening to my playlist on the iPod. I don't want radio with commercials.
I'd always been fascinated by people who allow themselves to be so rude and irritated and foul-mouthed and hostile, but usually you can sense there's something vulnerable beneath them - a shield they use to protect that vulnerable side. Finally, when they expose that soft spot, it's kind of touching.
I don't want my learning curve to be stunted by just all of a sudden doing work all the time and not being careful about the work that I'm doing.
I'm very low-maintenance.
