I don’t think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

I’ve made a number of independent films that didn’t receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven’t heard of, and as a result, I’ve conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.

I went to Notre Dame. I don’t know if that has any relevance, but maybe we all had a little too much philosophy and theology.

If you think about filmmaking as an entire spectrum, starting with the writer and ending with maybe the marketing department, the actor’s contribution is a rather slender band.

One of the great things about film is that, typically anything that’s introduced in the first five minutes, the audiences will by into.

Every actor has their own method, so I’m not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.

If you’re going to do a guest spot on television, they need bodies on those procedural TV shows. You’ve got to keep working, and that’s where a lot of the work is.

One of the advantages of shooting digitally was that we had a lot of time. When you shoot, even if you do a good performance, it may get lost in the editing room. It’s just one more way that a potentially good film might go astray.

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I’ve read as an actor, and I’m a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact.

Look, we all know how hard it is for us to – I’m going to speak for myself – find a still photo of yourself that you like. Like how many times do people send photos and you’re like, “Oh burn it.”
