Every once in awhile, when you can see shades of the person's real interior life, I think that's interesting.
There's a certain kind of existential freedom that comes to people who realize that all the things that they hold onto and that they think define them, once they're gone, there's this new freedom to determine the way you're going to live your life.
I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
San Diego was fantastic. I think there's something about San Diego that is quite different than Los Angeles.
The desert feels Irish in a way - lonely and barren. If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.
No, I'm not a comic book guy. I'm pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.
I've always managed to hustle; since the show ended, I did probably ten movies. I always feel like I can stay busy and do stuff.
I think I was able to ride on a good wave of not seeming too desperate. There's a confidence in there that's actually rare for me.
There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.
I love not feeling this hydraulic pressure that you have to create this comic moment within every scene. You can just play it as it is.
I feel quite blessed that I can actually balance between the two worlds, because a lot of really talented actors I know end up getting set in a certain category and no one will ever buy that they can exist outside that category, even though you know full well that they can.
I just personally feel like the best writing for actors exists in cable television.
I'm a huge fan of things like The Wire and The Shield.
I felt like Life was a great show. It was really well-written.
