What do you do when you first get to set?
It’s not the first thing but among the first things we do as actors is put on another set of clothes. I’ve always recognised that it’s a peculiar little ritual that we go through. For [American Fiction character] Monk, I found his glasses myself in a store the morning before we shot. They’d given me dozens of choices, and I just did not find the one that I wanted. I wanted them to be owlish. We were filming in Boston. I was riding my bicycle around and I went to a couple of different places to see if I could find them. And once I had them, that was OK. I found his face.
