Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.

I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.

I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.

Yeah, September 11 happened and all my friends were like, 'Let's join the military!' and I was the only one who actually did.

It's hard to kill that father-son bond.

I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.
