I respected writers too much, and what they do, to think that I was one of them - and I still feel that way a lot of the time. I still feel uncomfortable calling myself a writer. I'm like, "No, I'm an actor who writes sometimes. "

As an actor, especially one who's worked in casting, you read so many scripts, and some of them are terrible.
