And I not only inherited an aversion to the nine-to-five routine, but the sense from my parents that being bored and boring is the worst thing that you can be.

Sometimes the truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people have got to have their faith rewarded.

When I imagined my life, I always thought I'd be in my mid-30s before I felt capable of marrying. But I suddenly found that I'd met somebody and I said, "Screw it. I'm not gonna sit here saying, 'Oh no, I'm not ready,' and regret not having done this later on and the possibility of not having this person around." I thought, I'll jump into it and we'll figure it out as we go along.

My dad was the biggest influence on my life because he was never boring.

Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.

It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along.

In everyday life, my wife is the most wonderful. We're in love with each other beyond belief.
