Sometimes, keeping track of people. It's always a weird combination of worrying so much about the outside world, and not... you have to be more aware of the inner circle, the folks that matter.

People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.

It was kind of a decompression - from straight alcohol to mixed drinks to wine to spritzers - and then you're out.

Sometimes with a comedy it's just having the instinct of how real you play it and what level you want it.

I love doing live action movies, but there's a great job in doing animation, especially one with music.

My father retired to San Francisco, and I got a chance to know him and be around him. It's always been someplace where everything changed for the better. It's always been a home for me.

My preference is live performance, because you get the feedback. There's an energy. It's live theater. That's why I think actors like that.
