If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life, there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don’t have characters that I feel as personally connected to.

Nothing is harder than working with an actor who doesn’t take it seriously or show up in the same way that you are.

I feel very guilty doing magic because you’re deceiving somebody.

When you’re on set you don’t realize the way something is going to look since you’re on the other side of the camera.

The truth is people are very nice. The other truth is, it’s very annoying to be constantly interrupted. I don’t love myself enough to want to share myself with everybody.

I meet people who are in movies, and the stuff that they write is terrible, but nobody tells them that because they’re famous. So I worry that my stuff might be like that, too.

The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there’s no audience.

If you’re acting, then there’s a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there’s no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.

As for environmentalism, I’m only an environmentalist by accident. I live in New York, so I bike, and the closest grocery store to me sells organic produce. I also shop with a book bag because I ride a bike, and it’s hard to carry the paper or plastic bags.
