It's always appealed to me do to something that is whatever 'steady' means in this business. That's what I've kind of searched for, because, having a family, it's the best situation.
You never know, when you commit to something, what else could have been. I'm so bored with that concept anymore. 'If only I didn't do this, I could have done this.' It was in front of me, they asked me to do it, and it seemed like good timing.
A lot of times evil - or, in the case of comedy, stupid - is more interesting than the hero.
Other than advances in technology and equipment, making a movie is the same as it was when I started, at least. I don't go back to the silent era.
Whatever's in front of you, you do the best you can and let it land where it lands, and then you walk away.
People get the wrong idea. They think because somebody's visible and works to a degree in some kind of consistent way, they just have a pile of choices. And that's not necessarily true. You can always choose not to audition and see what happens. Sometimes that's a benefit. But most things that I do, I meet on, especially films.
In Washington, there are jobs that have official titles: chief of staff, campaign manager, director of communications. Then there are all these vague and murky headings over people who are just special consultants or advisers. We really don't know what their gig is.
People say you get identified with a role, and you get stereotyped, but I haven't found that to be the case.
I am a normal American.
