As A Parent, All You Want Is

Reading A Book, Watching A Movie, Going To A Play, It's Transporting, And Very, Very Exciting. And To Be A Part Of That, Creating Things With Your Imagination, Whoa.

I Think Anyone Loves To Play A Character That Is Either Evil To A Certain Extent Or Has A Real Definable Character Flaw. Those Are Always Really Fun, And, I Think, Funny.

When You Approach It, And I Hate Sounding Like The Pretentious Actor, But Yeah, I Think You Have To Find Things Within The Character That Are Likeable, Or At Least Human, And Not To Go At It With Any Sort Of Predetermined Notions As To What That Character Is.

[and On Going From Character To Leading Actor] I Don't Approach Anything Differently; I Just Approach It As A Character. I'm Always Astounded At The Fact That I've Ever Played A Leading Character In Anything [laughs]. And My Wife Concurs With That, Frankly. She Always Thought I Would Be, At Best, The Wacky Neighbor On A Sitcom, So This Is All Just A Surprise And A Joy.
