I Run And Do A

The Comedy Really Comes From How Badly You Want These Characters To Succeed And With A Comedy That's Often Hard.

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.

I Am A Filmmaker Fanatic. I Have Never Been Star-struck By An Actor Once In My Entire Life.

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've Learned Through Experience Of Playing Different Characters, Some Of Whom Were Jerks, That When You Play A Character Who Is Pretentious Or Obnoxious, In Any Way, It's Important To Knock Them Down A Peg.
