Personal Quote:

Well, the day I got nominated, I had jury duty, a D.U.I. case. The morning the nominations were announced, I reported to jury duty as scheduled. That was good; it gave me perspective. If you start feeling too important, it's always good to go sit in a jury for a D.U.I. charge. See more »

Trivia:

Was member of the dramatic jury at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997. See more »

Trademark:

Often works with Nicole Holofcener and Spike Jonze
