When I Was In High School, I

Every Character Lives In Ever Actor And If You're Doing Your Job Right, You're Just Accessing That Part Of Your Fantasy Life. I Can Kill Someone Just As Quickly As I Can Have Sex With Someone. You Can Switch That Instinct, No Matter What - You Can Pretend Anything.

For Better Or Worse, I Take My Acting Seriously. I May Not Have Been In The Best Movies Ever Made, But I Take It Deathly Serious, And I Love Being An Actor.

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.

You Can Inspire People To Give You Greatness, Or You Can Micro-manage Them Into Your Own One Specific Kernel Of An Idea. To Me, I Think That When You Inspire People To Give Their Best, Then You're Going To Get The Best Result.

I Fired A Bunch Of People And Kind Of Went Back To My Roots. I Fired My Agent - I Had This Big, Fancy Agent And A Big Fancy Manager And A Big Fancy Lawyer - And I Went Back To My First Agent And Said, "i Want To Go Back To Just Being An Actor."
