Actually, I’m reading a lot of my scripts. When I’m working on something, it’s hard to find time. You’re always prepping new material. You don’t want to be buried in a book. It splits your focus a little bit.

Any good movie or script usually, if they’re doing their job, gives the highest platform possible for an actor to leap off of, and that script was very high up there. It was a very smart, tight script. There was a lot of improv, as well, once we got to the set, but a lot of the original script was also in there.

Being a fan of comedy, it’s so unique, in their own voice. I was really stoked to be able to participate. They’re so great at just coming up with stuff on the fly and making stuff funny.

Fame is something I think happens as a result of trying to do good work. If you’re trying to be famous, your work usually suffers.

I always try to do the most interesting, fun thing for me.

I devoured TV – everything from Super Friends in the morning to Dukes of Hazzard and The Love Boat and Fantasy Island at night. I watched it all. There were only four channels, so you could actually consume all of television if you were good at changing the channel.

I did Chekhov’s Three Sisters once. Two months in, I remember going, “Human beings shouldn’t be forced to do or watch this play every night.” It’s so dark and so bottomless.

I didn’t have a lot of ambition, which I think was a good thing. I mean, I was ambitious about quality, but I wasn’t ambitious in the “I’ve got to get a pilot!” way. I never went out to L.A. for pilot season.

Ambition

Mean

Thinking

I didn’t really because I know myself well enough to know that if I actually sit down and think about sort of I can spook myself out like anyone, you know? It’s sort of like you’ve got to sort of jump out of the airplane when you’re skydiving. If you spend 20 minutes sitting on the lip you probably won’t do it.

I don’t miss much about my childhood. I lived in a good neighborhood, a wacky neighborhood. It was a very boy-heavy neighborhood – kind of Lord of the Flies-y. So many weird things happened, funny things.
