I look pretty different. Luckily for me, I don't get harassed or anything like that.
It's only the filmmaker. The script is really, really second. And there's a huge gap between filmmaker and script for me. I almost don't care about the story that they're telling; I really only care about who wants to tell it.
I know that I'm very comfortable with my body. I'm not in insane shape or anything. I run, but I'm not a gym guy or anything. I wish I had washboard abs, but I don't.
I don't think that there's anything that we shouldn't be allowed to photograph, really, unless there's something that's really deeply harmful to the subject in the photograph.
After working for a while, I realized that acting was only satisfying about 30 percent of what interested me about the filmmaking process. Somewhere around age seventeen, I started to realize that if I'm very particular about the people I work with, then I can have the best sort of master class possible.
I'm really bad at tests of any kind, so I'm bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when I'm under the gun, I just fail.
I realized that work doesn't beget work. Good work begets work. So I got a lot more patient and stopped worrying about working all the time.
I did all sorts of cartoons and stuff. And every once in a while I still do. It's rare, but it happens.
I'm not really often recognized - not really. Or if I am, nobody cares enough to come and tell me that they recognize me.
To spend 36 hours or 48 hours of my life binge-watching something seems insane to me.
Movies that I remember working on, or things that I remember working on, are things that took years of struggle and strife to get them off the ground or get them in front of the public. You don't have that kind of strife or whatever with a television show. It has an automatic platform. You go in, you do your job, and then it goes on air, and that's that.
Pretty much any time in my career where I worked on television it was usually because of some financial woes or something.
Basically, if I ever went and worked on a crime drama or something, it was usually just for the work.
I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.
