I mean, there's chemistry in life and there's acting chemistry. I'm not saying they're the same thing, but they're as mysterious.
I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower.
I wouldn't succeed at musical theater.
I'll instinctively know that I identify with a character.
You can go through life and actually speak your mind and do it in an articulate fashion and with a really intelligent point of view.
Approaching a part or thinking about taking a part, I never think, 'Is that person like me?'
I've run into certain geniuses of individualism - they are very few and far between - who live their lives completely on their own terms; they are very powerful and have a great amount of happiness. We all should aspire to that.
Privacy is something I have come to respect. I think when I was younger I wanted to tell everybody everything, because I thought I was so damn interesting. Then I heard the snoring.
Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery.

I enjoy comedy and I hope that people enjoy watching me do it.
