"The light bulbs in my apartment would burn out and I was so lazy that I wouldn’t replace them. And then I would drink bottled water and then just throw the plastic bottles on the ground because I had so little regard for my living environment. So I was living in this dark, crunchy cave because the lights were out and I would wander across this water-bottle-crunching graveyard to get up and go to these auditions for commercials. We’re already starting from a pretty bleak place. It’s like that Dostoevsky story, but without any of the literal significance.
