I Got Into A Bad Jag Of

Hollywood Used To Be Run By Artists And People Who Loved Artists... People Who Wanted To Make Movies For All The Right Reasons. For The Love. The Art. To Tell Stories. Yes To Make Money As Well, But It Was About Both. Now I Feel, It's Mostly About Bottom Line And Making Money.

Being Onstage Is Like Being Rock Star. Whereas If You're Doing A Movie, It's Such A Confined Space. You Know, You Do A Comedy, It's So Hard, Too, 'cause With A Comedy, There's No Vocal Reaction, There's No Energy That You Get Back That Spurs You On To Be Funnier Because Everyone Has To Be Quiet.

You Become Funny For A Reason. I Became An Actor Because That's Who I Was, Nothing Else - It Was The Only Thing I Was Good At. You Become A Clown And You Make People Laugh Because A) It Protects You From Everything, And B) It's This Validating Force In Your Life. And When You're 12 And 13 Years Old, You Need Validation And You're Lost And You're Kind Of Floating And You Suffer From A Severe Learning Disability And You're Overweight And You Have Glasses... You Become Funny For A Reason.

The Great Thing About Acting Is The Longer You Do It, The More You Realize That All Those Realities Are Inside You. No Matter How Crazy They Are, You Can Pretend That They Are A Part Of You. The Great Thing About This Job Is You Get To Play With Every Aspect Of Your Id And Who You Are.

I Like The Fact That A Modern Television And Modern Drama On Cable Has Characters That Are Really Intricate And Deep And Have Multiple Layers.
