An actor's responsibility is to play a character truthfully. That's their responsibility. That's where it ends. If they choose to use their reach and accessibility in order to further something that matters to them, that's their choice and that's great - but it's not for anybody to choose it for them.

I don't let it bother me too much if someone doesn't like me. I just figure there's no accounting for taste. It's not me, it's my acting. It's like if someone doesn't like someone's food, they just don't like my acting.

It was more like having unwanted attention as a child - if you'd walk around, people would recognize you, and it would be in a weird, almost making-fun-type manner.

Kissing Macaulay Culkin was like kissing a brother. It was really no big deal.

I'm very happy to make specific choices (as an actor), (but) you can't be married to them because you never know when the writers are going to be like, By the way, you have no brothers, you have a sister.

I pray every night. I just talk to God and I can go to sleep. I don't worry anymore.

In order to satirize adequately, I think you need to bring people down to Earth and be like, 'Yeah, these people drink coffee and have tummy troubles and they go to the bathroom like anybody else, and they all have relationship problems, if they even have relationships.'

Day-to-day scheduling is always a conflict. You go, Oh, I want to go to that awards show because when am I ever going to do that again? But then you go, Yeah...except this other thing is more important. It's more the micro day-to-day stuff that becomes a daily task as opposed to worrying too much about the career.
