I wanted to shoot straight, mainstream, somehow off-beat. Not only realistic West, which is quite unfamiliar to the world's population - even to a lot of Americans.
On Letterman and Leno, it always bothers me when they go outside the studio and it's daytime.
It's a strange thing when someone passes away. It's always when you're not expecting it that you're affected by it. When we first started filming, we were filming with existing characters in a location that we'd never been before.
I think doing The Improv is a little more ominous than doing a college campus because it was so different than anything I'd done.
My first ballet class was on a basketball court. I'm in my gym clothes and my socks trying to do this thing called ballet. I didn't know anything about it.
Kids my age never left California. And here I was, going to school with Aboriginal kids in a dream-like location.
Going to hospital is rather like going to an alien planet.
Getting comfortable again and being in a vocal booth on the opposite end of the spectrum, when you're normally the one tracking the vocals, is kind of scary.
I can't tell you how scary it can be walking onto a movie and suddenly joining this family, it's like going to somebody else's Christmas dinner, everyone knows everyone, and you're there and you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing.
Playing in an empty stadium won't faze me at all.
Afraid no, I wasn't afraid but it was an unusual thing, it was an unusual feeling. It was an unusual atmosphere for me having grown up in this country and, and, and never seeing anything like that.
Dining with a married couple can be uncomfortable.
Playing in Japan for thousands of people was like playing on the moon.
I hate being bored when I read a story. Even a well-trod theme can be made fresh by a different perspective or fresh writing.
You put a tuxedo on me, it's like putting a saddle on a hog.
Reading in a sound booth seems very strange. Everyone has a process they are comfortable with; this was uncomfortable for me.
Acting, when you don't want to do it or you disagree with everything, is almost like having sex with someone you don't like. I had one experience like that on stage, in a terrible version of The Cherry Orchard. I put on a wig, dark-coloured contacts and just hoped no one would recognise me.
I don't like going to the gym because I don't like being with people I don't know in that intense environment.
You know, it's strange when you're a guest star, because everybody knows each other so well, and they're relaxed, and they have a routine. So you kind of feel like you've just been brought up to the majors for one game, and you're batting ninth.
When you have a guest role, it's like being dropped into a show out of a helicopter.
