I would always fall down the big main staircase in our house. My favorite thing in the world was to pretend to be horribly killed at the top of it, and to fall dramatically down to the bottom of it.

We all went to Kelsey's wedding, and yeah, we go to parties. We also go to each other's house. A group of us got together over at Kelsey's and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but we had a good time.

The staircase is my favorite thing in the house because it brings the light through. It's very sculptural.

Last year, I finally got my own grand piano, and that was a big thing for me because it's always been and always will be a very important part of my life.

I did a big movie this summer, during my hiatus. That's really the time when I can do anything where I have a large part. That was Down With Love, an homage to the Rock Hudson-Doris Day films.

I was closing up my parents' house this summer, and found a film of my dad throwing a football with me in the front yard. It was like Niles as an 8-year-old-every time he threw it, I'd drop it or it would hit me in the head.
