The older I get, the happier I am with the way my career has gone. Although, in many ways, it's been through no design of my own.

It's one of the things I love about my job: it's my job to help a director tell the story, to just be willing to help.

A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials, including one for MCI. You can only see half of me, but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.

When I was a kid, I played 'Super Mario Bros' and 'Megaman 2' and '3' for hours and hours, trying to convince my mother they were good for me because they helped my hand-eye coordination. They influenced a whole generation of people to make computers what they are now, through problem-solving and so on.
