I didn't want to do 'Casino Royale' when they told me to audition. I said no. Then they sent me the script, and I thought it was actually very interesting - and I had no other work at the time.

Everything shifted for me after 'Rush.' It wasn't as financially successful as other things I'd done, but it gave me more movement, more options, more doors opening, more meetings. All of a sudden, it's, 'Oh, wow! You're an actor!'

I really wanted to do 'Modern Family,' and I really liked the script, and I liked the people.

For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.

I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.

I love the script and I just thought it was a great role. Like I say, it's like this - the script is like this sad, funny, desperate love song to the lost American man.

If it's an excellent script, I enjoy it tremendously, the acting part of it.

I auditioned for 'Pitch Perfect,' and I had to sing. It was terrible.

If I said to most of the people who auditioned, 'Good job, awesome, well done,' it would have made me actually look and feel ridiculous. It's quite obvious most of the people who turned up for this audition were hopeless.
