I Am A Filmmaker Fanatic.

As A Writer, I Haven't Delved Into Dramatic Writing. As An Actor, I Could Always, Even More So Than Comedy, Do Drama. When You Do Your Comedy And Your Drama, Your Acting Style Doesn't Change. If It's A Comedy, The Situations And The Characters Might Be A Little Funnier, But You're Just Trying To Be Honest.

Sometimes What Happens I Think Is That Actors Finish A Movie And They Go, Oh My God, I'm Never Going To Work Again, Even Big Huge Actors, And So They'll Take Something Thinking That Something Else Will Never Come Along. But For Me, I Freak Out - Because I'm A Bit Of A Workaholic - The Second I Finish A Movie Going Oh My God, What Am I Going To Do, But I Can Start Writing The Next Day So It Doesn't Force Me To Make A Bad Choice Acting-wise.

I Don't Like To Say Mean Things About People's Hard Work.

My Heroes Are Bill Murray And Dustin Hoffman. Those Are The Two Actors That Both Do Comedies And Dramas, Seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly And Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're All Just Great Actors, Neither Comedic Nor Dramatic. They're Just Great Actors.
