Tell us how you got started in the business?
I hate when I have to tell this story because I feel like a contrived anus but the truth is I went and saw a play in high school, and I didn�t think anybody was very good.
I still feel this same way - people in general but actors [especially], if you just think you�re great and you start taking bows for something that wasn�t even that great to begin with then it gets me mad. It�s never about how much you deserve it.
You know, like the standing ovation is totally meaningless now. There was a time when that meant something, [but now people] do this really mediocre or crappy to mediocre job and afterwards they�re like "Yes, thank you thank you".
I find that so obnoxious and I felt "I�m not even an actor and I can do that, I could do so much better." It came from wanting to prove to them how arrogant it was of them to think they were something special, when even though I�m nothing I can do that. I can do that, that�s easy, I can do better than that and I�m not even that good.
So that�s how I got started and then when I did it, it was really fun. I mean I always liked to sit around and make my friends laugh anyway. It�s not that I love being centre of attention or anything, it was just fun to act.
