It's Almost A Problem How Much I

Part Of An Actor's Job Is To Find Correlations Between Your Own Life And The Life Of The Person You Are Playing.

Realizing That Other People Have A Problem With [homosexuality] Was The Weirdest Thing For Me. As A Kid It Wasn't Even Something That Was Mentioned. It Was Never Something That Was Even Explained To Me. It Was Just, "that's Mark And He's Gay." Mark Was Just Another Friend Of My Dad's Who Would Talk About His Boyfriend Instead Of His Girlfriend. I Was 5. I Didn't Care. It Seemed Perfectly Normal, And Still Does.

All These Things, Social Media Or [smart] Phones Or The Things That Distract Us From Each Other, Are Fairly New. They're All Fairly New Inventions, And I Think We're In A Stage Where We Sort Of As A Whole Have Gotten These New Toys And We're Just Obsessed With Playing With Them. I Feel Like After A Period Of Adjustment It Will Inevitably Be A Regression From Where We Are Now.

Every Day I Would Come To Set [of Swiss Army Man] Going Like, "how Are We Going To Do This?".

I Think, As An Actor, And Particularly If You Are Playing The Lead In Something, You Have To View Yourself As The Head Of Department For The Cast. All Of The Other Departments Are Accountable And Have Somebody At The Helm Who Is Leading Them All The Time, And I Don't Think That The Actors Should Be Any Different.
