QUOTES:
The only thing I wanted to do when I was a young naive kid was to become a New York stage actor. I thought that would be nirvana. I think of myself as an actor. If other people want to pigeonhole me, if they want to think of me as a big deal or a medium deal or a small deal, well, that’s up to them.
[on filming The Three Musketeers (1993)] That was a really fun shoot. We were in Vienna and all over Europe in these glamorous locations, and you were getting to be in The Three Musketeers. Riding around on horses with pipes and going wrenching-I got nothing bad to say.
[on his role in The Ice Harvest (2005)] That is one of my favourite characters that I’ve ever played in, of course, a typically completely under-watched movie. I was deeply in love with that character, this kind of lost, bumbling soul.
[on his role in Bulworth (1998)] That was a lot of fun. It was kind of a movie-making highlight for me, because Mr. Beatty invited me into his process in a very personal way. He was Warren Beatty, you know what I mean? I grew up watching his movies. It was a thrill. It was a lot of late nights and craziness, but I’m very glad to be in the movie. I love the role, and I love the movie.

It was such a fabulous role that I can’t be at all surprised, let alone upset, that people still mention it. We were very lucky to have 13 episodes in which to dramatize Evelyn Waugh’s novel, and one reason for the series’ impact is a combination of time, money and producing talent that was unique. I think it’s fair to say that you’ll never again have that length of time (we shot it over nearly two years) or that sort of budget to shoot a television series about one book. “Sebastian” was the part I wanted to play, having read the book, and though I was initially seen for the part of “Charles Ryder” – which Jeremy Irons played in the end – it was “Sebastian” that I was after, and luckily I got him! AA, regarding his role in Brideshead Revisited (1981).

QUOTES:
I learned how to be a woman and a good person just by watching and observing my mother.
I think training is helpful, but so is living a well-rounded life full of different experiences.
My repertoire is small, but I can make a pretty tasty pasta sauce from scratch.
Surround yourself with good people that keep you grounded, work hard, and be patient.

QUOTES:
See, that’s the thing: I’m not one of those actors who thinks, ‘God, I’ve got to improvise and make it my own.’ No, my first job as an actor is to take what’s written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I’ll do that.
Jeff Kinney is tall and has a great smile, but don’t be fooled, he’s as slick as they come. A real player. And how he came up with a book that appeals to kids ages 8-13 baffles me. He’s an unbelievably kind man with a great family.
It’s funny, because when I was in college, all my professors said, ‘You should do comedy.’ And I was like, ‘No! No!’ But I was able to get my foot in the door through comedy. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to do it.
I wanted to go to New York and be a stage actress, doing things like Chekhov. None of that happened, and then I went to L.A. and an agent said, ‘I think you belong in commercials and TV.’ So I did that and got some opportunities that I absolutely love.

[on being a part of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)] “It was a thrill to have been a part of that show and one of those things that will always be a feather in my cap because it’s so well respected. I was blessed to be on it”.

QUOTES:
After film school, I embarked on trying to promote independent films. But after a while, I realized I was breaking my back doing six-day-a-week shoots, 14-hour days, and no guarantee of distribution.
‘Home Alone’ had become the absolute biggest film I had ever done, and it became the third-highest grossing film of all time. So clearly it had an effect on me that is unparalleled to any other film experience in my childhood.
I took myself out of the business to study film at NYU and the School of Visual Arts. I grew up on movie sets and was fascinated with the camera and behind-the-scenes work. I felt it would help my career as an actor if I knew all aspects of film.

QUOTES:
And I also definitely love glamor. I mean, I love getting dressed up, and having someone do my make-up and feeling pretty. I’m not gonna lie about that, cause that’s part of what I love about what I do. But celebrity, it’s like the feeling of going to the prom, the adolescent feeling of popularity. As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role. I mean, I understand when you’re incredibly famous that it becomes difficult to deal with the publicity aspect. But people who are like me, who go, “Oh, I’m not gonna do that. I’m just here for the work!” I find it to be a little pretentious, honestly. Cause you’re not that famous. Calm down.
[2007] I’m not into vilifying L.A., like “Everyone is so dumb, everyone has fake boobs . . . ” It’s just not true. There are a lot of really smart, fascinating people there. I’m a New Yorker who loves L.A.
