I Forget Who Said It, But Someone Said, Your Job As An Actor Is To Communicate The Most Honest Version Of This Character, And So The Parts Of You That You Can Use Are Obviously The Easiest To Access, Because You Live Through Them Every Day.

The First Time I Ever Cried In A Movie Was In Dead Poet's Society.

As Far As Ken Kwapis Saying All Those Things, I Think He Just Really Wanted Me In The Movie So He Probably Told Warner Brothers, 'don't Worry, Jimmy Stewart? Gary Cooper? Who Else Do You Like?' If They'd Said They Were Huge Chris Farley Fans, He's Like, 'he Can Do That, Too. He's A Huge Physical Comedian.' But No, That's Really Nice To Hear.

I Hadn't Heard The Gary Cooper Thing So I'm Not Grounded Now. I Feel Pretty Good. That's Incredibly Nice. When I Met Robin [williams] At The Read-through, I Remember When He Came In, I Was So Nervous Meeting Him For The First Time Is Incredible Because I Did Actually Write Him A Letter When I Was A Kid And Told Him He Was My Favorite Actor.

Richard Jenkins Read The Script [the Hollars] And Really Liked It, But He Said, 'if You Can Get Margo Martindale, I'll Do It. Otherwise, Good Luck.
