Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

I'm not going to comment about potential jobs in the future because that's a rabbit hole to go down and get caught up in, but all I'll say is I'll go where the good scripts are.

I look at scripts really for whether they can be moving or penetrate some kind of truth. You are constantly chasing that feeling as an actor when every part of a production comes together.

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.

Scripts are corny and predictable. Real life is always better.

I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.

I don't speculate too much about the future. That's the thing about this job - it's so fickle. You take the jobs, you read the scripts and, if something interests you and you like the people who are working on it, you go for it.

You're always looking for good scripts and when they're not always forthcoming you go mad.
