"I miss California... I love driving." — Michael Stuhlbarg

I've done a lot of theater work that has been quite diverse. I feel very fortunate to have had many different people think of me in many different ways. So, as an actor that's all you - all I want is diversity. So far in film and television work I have done has not been as diverse, and I hope it grows to be.

I was thrown into a community production of 'Bye Bye Birdie' or something when I was a kid. I wanted to just build the sets, but I wasn't allowed to just build the sets unless I auditioned for the play. So I auditioned for the play and was thrown into the chorus. During the course of that I fell in love with it, and I never really turned back.

Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.

Making television is difficult. Making any art is difficult.

I think it's always a challenge to adapt a beautiful literary work into a fresh and alive film.

I love throwing myself into people who actually lived. It gives me a lot to research and a lot to know.

I don't see a difference between the idea of what an actor does and what someone supposes a character actor is, really.

I'm just grateful for the opportunities that have come my way.
