I could not work for a long time. I don't spend very much money. Basically I spend money on food and DVDs.
I may not have gone to high school every day, but I spent whole a lot of my adolescence feeling vulnerable and confused and alone... just like everybody else.
If someone wants to be a part of your life, they’ll be there. So don’t bother saving a spot for someone who won’t make an effort to stay.
Sometimes when a movie is really alive you can see that they were just making decisions on the spot. They weren't bound to anything, they were working with ideas that the actors and situations presented.
If you want to be treated like adults then start acting like them.
It seems like movies normally take a long time to get made. When you focus on it, and you're waiting for something, it seems to take longer.
If you're working with a director you trust, you can turn that part of you off that wants to direct other actors in a certain way.
I spend most of my time catching up on classic comedy - things you absolutely have to see.
You try to pick good stories, and that's pretty much all the control you have as an actor.
I turned down the lead role in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, because that idiot Oliver Stone didn't think the character should play the alto sax.
My father works for Xerox and fixes those gigantic copy machines that are about 10 feet wide.
My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer.
I just want to be really careful with decisions I make. When you make a decision about your career, it changes your life in a really big way.
