"My role in Waydowntown is a small, unflattering part. I appear pasty and puffy like a ripe cadaver. It's the kind of character that might be viewed as a brave departure from an actor who wasn't already considered pasty and puffy." "My character in Twitch City is a kind of caricature of a perception some people might have of me. It's a joke at my expense. It's the way I feel some days when I'm at home feeling pathetic and full of self-loathing and just sitting in front of the television set eating cereal." It usually comes from some sort of alchemical combination of character and a vague sense of plot or an idea or a theme, such as Last Night, character-plus-the-end-of-the-world. That's what it tends to be. I have never started out with a plot. I've thought of ideas, places and themes and character.
