I heard you talk about there's this Quaker ritual where you all would sit in silence, and then when you had something that you needed to say, you could say it.
Can you describe that?
Your father was a corporate lawyer.
And is that right?
Your grandfather, a musician and a producer.
And your mom and brothers are also powerhouses.
I mean, you come from a really impressive family background.
It sounds like discipline and accomplishment were a big part of the foundation of you guys.
And how would they describe your place in the family?
How proud your parents must be of you guys.
What do you think it was that had you driving towards that danger for you as a young person?
Because I do think it plays into the way you're able to give such a real performance of these conflicted and violent people that you often portray.
Acting finds you, though, in a very interesting way, almost by accident.
So you're this hellion in Washington, D.C., as you put it.
You go to Skidmore College to play baseball.
Mm-hmm.
You walk into an intro acting class as a freshman thinking that you can kind of sleep through it.
And the first assignment is for you to bring something you care about and talk about it in this acting class.
And you forgot, so you grab your catcher's glove and you spin this story that your mother had given it to you on her deathbed, but she's alive and well.
Do you remember how you felt after you gave this monologue and you looked around the room and you saw the responses of everybody?
