It gets difficult sometimes because I'll be in the same place but being two people so I'll have to run back and forth and take the wig off and be two different people at the same time. They both have different attitudes so you've got to change quickly.

In a strange way, playing David (gay character in Six Feet Under) during the first season required me to get in touch with my homophobia. He had such internalized loathing for who he was. I certainly have moved forward in my life, in my own relationship to my self-loathing, by having played David.

Sometimes people's eyes widen when they find out in one way or another that I'm not gay. All of a sudden, their praise for my performance (in Six Feet Under) gets ratcheted up.

There was always an impulse to perform in one way or another. Most of my experiences performing growing up were doing musicals, singing, being in choirs.. I sang in choirs when I was in college as well. I was a choir geek the first couple of years. Then I became a theater geek. I took an acting class my sophomore year and realized that in terms of my enthusiasm and aptitude, it was definitely the thing.

I tend not to be a control freak when I'm acting, but I do like to have a sense of the overall arc, so that I can plug into it in an effective way.

There's a great distinction between actors and musicians, in that musicians for the most part have pride of ownership. We're not handed someone else's work to interpret; we're interpreting our own work.
