I Do A Lot Of Improvising On

I Considered A Lot Of Different Jobs As A Kid. I Thought About Becoming A Priest Or A Lawyer. My Father Had A Big Linen-supply Business And I Considered Working For Him. What Dawned On Me Was: 'if I'm An Actor, I Get To Do The Fun Parts Of Every Job!' Without Having To Go To Four Years Of Law School.

I Kinda Taught Myself How To Play Guitar, And I Still Play To This Day. It's Become A Pretty Big Part Of My Life.

You Know, The Truth Is That Us Actors Would All Like To Believe We Re-invent The Wheel, Every Time We Play A Character. But, We're Human Beings And Our Instruments Are Not Violins, They Are Our Bodies And Our Consciousness And Our Collective Life Experience.

Oftentimes, A Funny Situation Is Funny Because It's Uncomfortable Or Weird. The Most Memorable Stories, Or The Stuff That You Repeat To Your Friends, It's Not Like, "oh, I Had A Pleasant Day, Nothing Happened On The Bus Today." It's When Strange Things Happen, When You Become Uncomfortable Or Knocked Out Of Your Own Reality, Those Are The Things That Are Interesting.

For A Long Time, It Was Like I Was Part Of Some Special Forces Unit: I'd Land, Meet Everyone, Five Minutes Later I'd Have To Do Some Amazing Work, Then - Boom! - I'm Out Again. You Know, Playing Supporting Parts Takes Courage.
