It's fun to improvise, but I still think it's better to have a great script, you know, like a Charlie Kaufman script.

Cameron Crowe can write dialogue and shoot it with warmth and humor like nobody else.

I'm not accustomed to doing films without seeing the script.

I've done lots of improv things but not a whole movie.

See, that's the thing: I'm not one of those actors who thinks, 'God, I've got to improvise and make it my own.' No, my first job as an actor is to take what's written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I'll do that.

If I read a script and I like it, there's nothing that will stop me from trying to be in that movie.

I've never been good at improvising.

I'm not Russell Crowe. I'm not going to do a period piece.

There are very few actors who are truly good at improvising; that's a real skill.

Most scripts that get written in Hollywood don't go anywhere.
