A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy.

You never had the opportunity to play with some of the great ballplayers, but being that close around them, and being in the same category, was a great feeling, to feel that vibe of all the best players who played the game.

I needed to do a play. I needed to learn how to act again, in a focused, all-encompassing way, and a really challenging play is a great way to do that.

I just loved playing a man who was unafraid of making an idiot of himself in the process of falling in love. I found that admirable.

I enjoyed making people laugh. I discovered that I loved that power over them. On stage, I felt I could really express who I was for the first time.

People often ask me, was it hard to play this person or that person? Well, no, not really. Acting is what I do. It's my job.

It was a big deal to me to play characters and feel things and connect to somebody in a fake world.

It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.

I don't mind playing somebody who's not likable, or makes the audience feel slightly conflicted.
