My agents and my managers are very good at whittling things down to the things they think I would be good at and that I'd respond well to, and that includes theater, TV and film. Whatever it is, if the material is right for me, then I'll go for it.

I've made it clear to my agents that I want more interesting stuff.

Luckily, I have great agents who are sending me out for great stuff.

The bulk of my calls are from agents who are letting you know about material that's coming your way.

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.

I have a hard time getting motivated to do something that seems like a career move. I've gotten into vague trouble with my agents for turning down work that I thought was exploitative.

As movies and TV projects come up, they go out to the agents, and we just go out and audition for them.

I tried for years to get an agent because I was told you needed an agent. The agent-hunting process was grim indeed.

I've learned you don't always listen to your agents and managers. Sometimes they know nothing.

A lot of the time the film chooses me. I'll be working and I'll get a call from my agent and I'll get the script and then tell him what I think.
