Storytelling Is The Important Thing.

I Was A Nut For Dostoevsky. You Can Tell A Lot From What People Read Between Those Ages. My Brother Was A Steinbeck Freak And Now He Lives In A Little Village In New Hampshire And He's A Baker.

Well, I Think Certain Roles Are Chosen For Us. The Moment I Read Pete Campbell I Thought: I Can Do This, This Is Mine. And In Money, Too. The Truth Is I Turn Down A Lot Of Projects. If A Character Doesn't Have Some Kind Of Internal Struggle, It's No Good For Me.

But Now I Feel Off The Grid. I Feel That I Am Not Part Of The Culture. And Because I Don't Have A Car I Don't Really Go Anywhere To Buy Things. In Fact, I Have Been In A Slow Process Of Selling And Giving Away Everything I Own.

I've Worked With Actors Before Where I Was Like, This Is Not Working, And Then I've Seen Their Work On The Screen And I've Been Like, Wow, That Was A Really Great Performance. Because There Are A Lot Of Elements With Film. It's Not Like Stage. It's Not A Kind Of Performance Art Anymore; It's A Highly Tuned Kind Of Collaboration - A Symphony.

I Learned A Lot About Acting From The People I Worked With.
