That's just part of being in 'X-Men.' There's, like, 20 main characters, and 15 of them are household names, so obviously you're happy for anything you can get.
I've never written anything that I haven't wanted to write again. I want to, and still am, writing 'A Few Good Men' again. I didn't know what I was doing then, and I'm still trying to get it right. I would write 'The Social Network' again if they would let me, I'd write 'Moneyball' again. I would write 'The West Wing' again.
Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That's what I look for.
Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'
There really isn't a story that you can't tell inside of it. It's very much a clearinghouse for anything that goes on in the world. So you're not at all limited.
When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff. It's funny now to think about it - that a friend getting a job or something had anything to do with me... I think that my relationship with my wife has played a pivotal role in the chilling out of Aaron.
Large corporations, of course, are blinded by greed. The laws under which they operate require it - their shareholders would revolt at anything less.
I can't think of anything worse than trying to schmooze someone with the idea that you're an actor.
I don't go online, I don't read reviews, I try not to look at anything on the Internet.
I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.
