Did you ever worry about going blind in real life?
Of course, you especially think that as a kid … oddly, we take so much physicality for granted. The example I always use is, if we have a bunch of people in the room, no one is going to talk about how comfortable they feel. But if you [change] the temperature and make it really hot or really cold, in a minute, they're all going to be complaining.

Are you always looking for serious roles?
They seem to find me. If I could be on a [comedy] show like "Arrested Development," I would be so happy … unfortunately, it never comes my way. But if somebody is going to be trapped in an avalanche, or trapped in a terrible marriage or suicidal, I can guarantee it'll come my way.
