I would love to have the power to be the just eternally perfect husband so my wife would always be happy; that would take me to heaven if I could figure that one out.
I grew up with a dad who hated television, so we had to sneak television. It got ingrained in my head to never follow a show that religiously.
The crew, the actors and the writers all work the same way. We always want to do the best job.
Any great movie in the old days has a red herring. Hitchcock was so good at that.
For me, the idea of being a successful actor is hanging out with my dogs and my boy, down in Venice beach, and going, "I don't have to audition today. I've got a little respite here."
There's this great fantasy of going to work, every day, and getting to play out what people think my life is, as a successful actor.
I've had so much fun working on 'Shameless.'
I come to work with a smile and I leave with a laugh, and I'm so grateful.
When you're a little kid, growing up, most of us know what's right and wrong. Our parents teach us that discipline.
When people come up to me and say 'I hate you' or 'I love to hate you,' it's not the usual response that I thought I would've gotten halfway into my career. And then they say, 'I love your work.'
I think every actor should be always grateful when they work.
How do you make people do the best work? You make them feel comfortable, so you can feel comfortable - and then you can have a really good ballgame!
I was raised in the theater and I started acting when I was nine. To me, the idea of being an actor was about playing different characters and being a chameleon. That's why I was in the theater.
