(On being recognized for his Friends (1994) episodes) I did “Friends” usually always while I was doing another movie. I would literally have to get off the set and rush to Warner Bros. and look at the script and have to do it right there in front of an audience. It’s like a blip in my memory where I was stressed out, trying to remember lines. So people come up and say, ‘The guy who melts stuff!’ and I don’t even remember it. Like, what are you talking about?

(On getting into character) I do have a certain technique that varies from part to part because everybody is different. But I don’t want to have a viewpoint in terms of fame or being a leading man. I feel like I’m on a certain path as far as my technique and I’m trying to get better and better and better. I want to maintain that and be more committed every time out and learn more about myself.
