I actually moved from engineering to acting. I think what's important is how talented and passionate you are.

My plan was to be able to make a living as an actor.

When I was young I had an apprenticeship as an engineer.

I wound up getting my degree in sports medicine and nutrition because I wanted to work in the medical field. But I wound up taking a trip to Los Angeles and decided being an actor sounds pretty cool, too.

I moved out to L.A. to be a filmmaker or director. I didn't even think about doing comedy or even acting. I wanted to be like Paul Thomas Anderson or Wes Anderson, but I wasn't going to a lot of comedy.

I was a film student. I became an actor, but I thought I'd be pursuing filmmaking originally.

I actually got hurt in a steel factory in 1985 and so that changed my life. I went to a junior college and that's where I discovered acting.

The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor.

I went to an ordinary school in New York City with no other actors. I learned to compartmentalise different parts of my life. I was one person at home and then another person at work and for that reason my career didn't challenge my family life.
