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.

The Older I Get, The More I Can't Stand Violence And Have A Hard Time With Seeing People Die In Horrific Ways. It Gets Harder And Harder To Watch And Deal With That Stuff.

My First Love Is Acting, But The Reality Is That I Just Don't Get Too Many Opportunities To Stretch, And Grow, And Inspire Myself As An Actor, Certainly Not In Terms Of Where I Make Money. Yeah, I Can Go Off And Do A Play, But The Reality Is As A Profession, Directing Is Exponentially More Satisfying.

The Great Thing About Acting Is The Longer You Do It, The More You Realize That All Those Realities Are Inside You. No Matter How Crazy They Are, You Can Pretend That They Are A Part Of You. The Great Thing About This Job Is You Get To Play With Every Aspect Of Your Id And Who You Are.
