I come from a pretty strange family.

I know as I'm taking my dying breath, the ambulance guy will ask me why they cancelled Action.

I love anything to do with ventriloquism and magic.

I had an obsession that I was male characters from movies.

I loved the idea of the Nerd as Hero, which Ghost World also had.

When we were doing a scene, lots of times we would collapse giggling because it seemed so silly because it felt like we were doing a home movie at times.

I love sketch comedy. My real goal is to do something with Albert Brooks. That would be my fantasy. I stay up night and day thinking up stuff he might find funny.

I met Patricia Neal, John Houseman. But I loved my grandfather because he was this kind, talented man.

It was an interesting way to come across in my first big role. To work with Robert DeNiro was very exciting.

I've done a few studio films in the last few years where I feel like I've done good work, and then I only end up in two scenes. That's been very disappointing.

I'm a huge poster collector.

What is there that forgiveness cannot achieve?

There have been 50 or 60 books written about Empress Orchid, but none of them bothered to really examine the period in China when she lived. I was taught that she was evil; it's in all the textbooks.

I primarily buy art to show it off.

I've got two children, and if my voice is still out there, I want the money to go to them when I die.

Turkey will "inevitably" join the EU in our lifetime unless we vote to leave.

Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal their nose.

When we stand up and we sing O Canada, we pledge to stand on guard for thee. If that doesn't include our water, we might as well sit down and give up.

Valentines Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think its more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date.

Fate, then, is the nothing of anxiety.
