One of the things I did early on in film was over-enunciate and talk too loud.

I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.

I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.

That red carpet has to be felt to be believed.

Oh yeah, that's the Holy Grail, Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp, he's the real deal, isn't he? He doesn't get the girl, and he doesn't care.

Shameless is a rough show, and it’s not for everyone, but it’s also beautiful.

It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.

Emily was feeling the elation of conscientious hosts when they can temporarily escape a ubiquitous houseguest.

I was the last, the sole survivor. The most honorable thing a survivor could do was survive. If you stayed on your feet, stayed alive, you were the winner.
