weed nice smart
I really like the director [for Weeds]. I don't know if you've spoken to him yet but he's really, really intelligent. He was just really kind when I met him and nice and really told me why I should play the part...and kind of really didn't argue with him. He's just really, really smart and assembled these really great people. I felt like he really knows how to enlist his intelligence to get you - I don't know - he's really hard to argue with I find.
trying stories way
Usually I'm trying to turn something around or turn it inside out and see what's underneath. I know that probably sounds incredibly vague but I never set out to be likeable or funny or anything like that. I'm just trying to tell the story in the best way that I can and serve the writer because it's really about the writer.
forward-in-life people being-different
People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life.
tired hearing
I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.
fun moving people
There's a lot of time sitting in movies, so you can put alligators in people's trailers in your spare time. So it [making a film] moves slower, which in some ways is great, because you can live with a scene and invest in it a lot. And in some ways it's hard, because sometimes you can start to lose your energy a little bit, but both are fun.
mediocrity underrated
Mediocrity is underrated.
marijuana thinking people
I don’t think it’s that controversial. I’m really in favor of legalizing marijuana. I thought people would be more offended by [this series] than they are. I’m surprised they weren’t.
acting schedules goes-on
I really prefer acting in the theater the most. In some ways TV is closer to that because there's more of a regularity to the schedule. You have to finish an episode by a certain day. Movies can just go on interminably.
community way tvs
With TV, there's a continuum with the crew and the cast so you feel like you have a sense of community in a way, which is similar to theater.
giving tacos my-sister
My sister's fish tacos are out of control. I'd give her a restaurant if I were a gazillionaire.
years parent together
My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.
want faces my-favorite
My favorite scene in all of movies is Gregory Peck in 'To Kill A Mockingbird': You see him where he's on the porch, and his face is almost completely obscured. I don't want to see his face.
insecure care likes
Look, I don't care if anyone likes me when it comes to my work. But I can be massively insecure in other parts of my life.
fists way combat
My way to combat anything is just to walk straight into it with my fists up.
