Quote
1 You always have these moments when projects are over when you wonder if you’ll ever work again. In the end, what it comes down to is that it’s a fine line between becoming too enamored of your own success and maintaining the confidence to do what you do and do it well. That’s the line every actor, if they’re lucky, has to walk.
2 “Every day on this movie is something overwhelming. Luckily, I have Ben Shenkman , who plays Louis, and we’re having identical experiences. When something crazy happens we just look at each other and laugh.” (On his experiences with Angels in America (2003) ).
3 Even though I wanted to be John Malkovich or Sean Penn when I was a kid, mostly I was a music nerd.
4 After many of years of getting cast in sweet, angelic roles, I’m finally getting to play closer to my real life as a horrible person.
