I Think We Owe Absolutely Everything To

Trophies And Medals Have Never Meant Much To Me. I've Had Amazing Experiences, Which Let You Feel Like You've Accomplished Something.

The First Acting Thing I Ever Did Was My Senior Year I Decided Not To Play A Sport In The Spring And, In That Spring B.j. Novak Who Went To School With Me, Asked If I'd Be In This Show That Was A Parody Of All The Teachers In The School, 'sure!' That Was The First Acting Thing I Did.

I've Always Loved Those Movies Where Somebody Thinks They Want Something, And Then They Realize That The Thing They Really Want Is Right In Front Of Them.

I Don't Think I've Ever Signed Onto Anything As Quickly As I Did The Hollars, Because I Come From A Really Loving, Well-connected Family, Where We See Each Other All The Time. And When I Was Done With This Script, I Was Like, "oh My God, That's My Family!" This Is Obviously A Very Dysfunctional Family, But There Was Something About It That Was Sort Of Universal. And I Think That In This Day And Age In Today's World - There's A Lot Of Drama Out There. It's Nice To Tell Stories About Things As Simple And Powerful As Family.

I Grew Up With The Boston Vibe And The Catholic Vibe. I Don't Want To Put Anybody Out.
