I Want To Meet The Man Who

Sometimes What Happens I Think Is That Actors Finish A Movie And They Go, Oh My God, I'm Never Going To Work Again, Even Big Huge Actors, And So They'll Take Something Thinking That Something Else Will Never Come Along. But For Me, I Freak Out - Because I'm A Bit Of A Workaholic - The Second I Finish A Movie Going Oh My God, What Am I Going To Do, But I Can Start Writing The Next Day So It Doesn't Force Me To Make A Bad Choice Acting-wise.

When I Was Growing Up, My Parents Asked Me What I Wanted To Do, And I Said That I Wanted To Live In Springfield. They Were Like, "well, That's Not How It Works. There Is An Actor Who Play Homer, And Someone Who Writes What Homer Says." So, I Was Like, "well, I Want To Write What Homer Says."

I Started Writing And Acting In These Little Plays And Then I Was Discovered By Dustin Hoffman. He Got Me My First Audition For A Film He Was In, Called 'i Heart Huckabees.'

I Believe In Collaboration. I Think That Is The Most Entertaining And Effective Way To Write For Me, Personally.

My Heroes Are Bill Murray And Dustin Hoffman. Those Are The Two Actors That Both Do Comedies And Dramas, Seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly And Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're All Just Great Actors, Neither Comedic Nor Dramatic. They're Just Great Actors.
