I Really Enjoy My Time Off. If

Whatever The Reasons That I Turn Things Down, I'm Always Happy When There's A Good Result, And I Can Enjoy It As A Movie, You Know? I Don't Feel Like, 'oh Man, That Was Really Good. I Should Have Done It.' You Have To Make The Decisions You Have To Make, Whether It Has To Do With Your Family Or Repeating A Character Or Whatever It Is.

I Don't Know How To Be Like A Bill Murray Or A Will Ferrell, These Guys Who Know How To Make A Line Funny Just By, I Don't Know, Some Extra-sense Perception. I Only Know Character And Emotion And Real Acting; That's All I Know How To Do.

I Always Say It Takes As Much Preparation And Thought To Do A Small Part As A Leading Part. In Some Ways, Leads Are Easier Because You Have The Luxury Of Time To Discover The Character.

From The First Time I Did A Movie, People Have Said, 'oh, It's All Going To Change Now.' And It Would Change, But Very Incrementally. I Think I Prefer That To Some Big Explosion Of Fame All Of The Sudden.

I End Up Improvising In Almost Everything To Some Degree, 'cause It's Often Necessary On Movies. The Script Is One Thing, And It's This Kind Of Theory Of What You're Going To Do, And Then You Get There On The Day And You Realize, "oh, The Script Is Not Appropriate To This Room, The Door's Over Here."
