I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days. ”

Talking to other people about a part is not helpful for me. It's such an internal and complicated and still kind of mysterious process. ”

I feel like I've been picky through the years and would do one movie a year or one movie every two years, and I want to work a lot more. So if I can find something that just happens right away as a director, I'll do it if I really love it, but otherwise, I want to keep working as an actor and getting better. ”

Lots of movies don't kind of work as well as they do on the page. ”

It's really fun when a scene doesn't work. ”

You can start with a great director and great actors and have a great script - and it still just doesn't work. It's kind of a mystery how that happens. ”

Is it really every 10 years that you get to work on a great movie? That can't be. ”

I have been lucky enough to work with people who inspire me, who I admire and respect, and who have made films - before working with me - that I continually return to over the years because they are so good. ”

The first thing that I remember auditioning for was a weather commercial in Boston, and I got the job. The idea of the commercial was that you ought to watch the weather in the morning so that you know what's gonna come later in the day. ”
