I love Buster Keaton. I was a big fan of the stunt shows at Universal Studios. I’m a huge Cirque du Soleil nut.
I feel like I know where I’m going. And I like where I’m going.
I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.
When you have twin four-year-olds, you are able to dance like a fool, often. And I do.
I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.
My parents own a restaurant in Albuquerque.
May I suggest a drinking game where everytime I do a ridiculously long awkward blink, someone does a shot of some kind of alcohol?
I regret not dancing more, just cutting loose on the dance floor. I still admire those who don’t care much about what others think of them.
I’ve got no plans to be a ballet dancer at the moment.
Babies laughing is like opium.
Babies just change everything. You have to become super selfless and super tired and super amenable to change. They just change all the time.
I would not dream of taking on Tobey Maguire. Plus, he’s a talented and nice guy, and I have nothing but nice things to say about him.
It’s really something for people who are approaching 30 to take a look at what that means to them. I think turning 30 is a chance to re-identify with yourself.
I don’t like to be disparaging about my past roles. That’s the only taboo that I don’t like to cross.
When you call someone and ask them to do something they’ve never done before, in different mediums I think they would be inclined to pass because they’re afraid of the risk. But the creative people who populate the theater world love the challenge of new things.
The Tonys are the once-a-year shot for all of these shows and artists who work so diligently every single performance but only for a thousand or so people at a time. This gives them the opportunity to perform to millions of people.
There are so many examples of talented actors working today, no matter how they live their private lives. I’m lucky that people believe me when I’m in character.
Before babies, I worked very hard to make sure I understood my surroundings and figured out where I fit in the world, whether it was at work or in a social situation.
I’ve done plenty of daredeviling – from white-water rafting to bungee jumping. But I think the most fearless was hosting the Emmy Awards. It was overwhelming, and I definitely had to leave fear at the door.
I remember thinking that the rest of my life would be solo. I wasn’t weepy when I thought that – it was just a realization that I had gone this long being self-sufficient.
