I have turned into a bit of a homebody as I've gotten older. I don't really like to leave the couch in Los Angeles, but when a job comes around that you feel you have to do, you get up and do it.

Ninety percent of a good performance of an actor is based on the material. If you've got the material there, you can ride it.

Even though I wanted to be John Malkovich or Sean Penn when I was a kid, mostly I was a music nerd.

I would rather be part of something that is entertaining than realistic.

I like my players to be married and in debt. That's the way you motivate them.

One of the pitfalls of a romantic comedy is that you know how it's going to end.

When I first started talking about gay marriage, most people in the gay community looked at me as if I was insane or possibly a fascist reactionary.

A perfect hero is about as boring as a perfect marriage.
