In college, my teachers were usually after me for going after comedy too much, leaning too much in that direction.
I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.
I like A&E. I like those corny intimate-portrait things. They're so kind of ingenious and artificial and soothing.
I do love my avocados, which are great for the skin. I eat pretty healthfully.
Yeah, when you work with somebody that famous everybody wants to know what are they like or - but I know some of the movies that I know because they're more like NOBODY'S FOOL or like that, because I don't really watch the big R movies, I haven't really seen them so much. I loved him [Bruce Willis] from his TV show and some of the smaller movies he's done. The bigger movies I start to space out in, like, there just so, I don't really watch those kind of movies so much.
I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't do a lot of superfluous press.
I enjoy cooking and baking. Alicia Silverstone's vegan cookbook is awesome.
I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.
You can tell actually when he starts to talk about his family, or his Daughters, or his Wife, and his whole face - really he's so really kind of a dear.
I just want to make lunches and organize my kids' playroom.
I just get to go to work with such great actors who are so talented, especially Elizabeth (Perkins). You are so wonderful and kind and good and wonderful and sexy and great, and I just want to make out with all of you.
There's something really sweet about the way he's playing the part and he's kind of irresistible in a way. They're both really lonely. That's kind of established from the very beginning in the movie. The way they meet is just classic, lonely losers.
Well, it's kind of like that classic sort of trajectory in this kind of movie where there's conflict and they're estranged and they kind of grow to love each other but they don't show it. Then at the end - it's kind of like that. But I think the characters are more interesting than that.
It's the best part of the whole movie. John Malkovich with a pink pig is - you can't get better than that. Then John Malkovich alone and then you add a pink pig.
