I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.
I'm not into music - the only music I like is musical theater, but I have every Ween album.
No one should be offended - that's not my style.
I feel things can always be funny, but that's probably because I have some kind of leftover childhood need to make people laugh. For somebody like me, that's the thing you excel at.
The ideal way to approach a character is to find something in yourself that relates in some way.
I don't understand capri pants. They seem like neither here nor there.
I cried every day of first grade. In class. Which meant I ended up getting comfortable emoting in a place where it wasn't the norm.
I think it's a room full of insecure actors, which is ultimately very comforting.
The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it's false.
Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.
Actually, acting in bumper cars is terrible, because the really only way to film it and get a close up is to literally mount the camera - this heavy thing on the car and it's just the worst because you can't act at all with a thing on the car.
No compliment is ever sufficient and every insult, of course, is true.
I think there are probably a lot of actors like me who I think probably struggle to feel comfortable in their own lives, and acting in some ways provides a safe context for them to live out emotions that they possibly repress or live out experiences that they are not afforded by virtue of circumstance.
The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.
