I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.

Comic books aren't nerdy. You'd have to be an idiot to think computers are nerdy.

Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows.

I don't know anyone who's going to see Grind 22 times in the theater. My mom. Some kid who has short-term memory loss and forgot that he's seen it.

I started a band [Big Japan] for fun. These sticks break easily, but they feel good.

And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.

My best jokes are so cheap. All I do is say things sarcastically.
