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.

It's Always Fun To Play A Bad Guy Because You Get More To Do. It's More Arch. There's More Energy To Throw Into It.

I've Really Enjoyed The Independent Film World. I've Had A Blast. But, The Reality Is That I Really Want To Make Bigger Movies. If I Could Make Movies That Carry Great Characters And Great Performances And Great Pathos, And Can Have An Explosion Or Two, That Would Be Fine With Me.

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.

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.
