5 YEARS AGO ''I was a dog walker for an exclusive agency on [Manhattan's] Upper West Side that only allowed you to walk one dog at a time. Which means that even in the dog-walking world, I was at the bottom of the food chain.''
NOW ''I guess I was hoping that the shower scenes in Take Me Out might be concealed. I was worried that my parents might be freaked out. I warned them in advance. My mother said, 'I didn't look down ever. I focused on the chest up.'''
5 YEARS FROM NOW ''I want to play guitar and sing for the world's first Tom Waits tribute band. I need the gravelly voice, which is a problem. So I'm either going to take up smoking again or spend the next five years doing a lot of shouting.''
