If you force yourself to smile, within a couple minutes, you feel happy.

When my kids started preschool, the teachers had to take away all the fake bananas because all the boys would pick them up and pretend that they were guns. Boys find sticks to play swords and anything that looks like a gun to shoot. It's just inside of them. It's who they are.

I don't have a lot of downtime.

When you're a stand-up, you play in front of 600 people, and it's all about timing. I could never do stand-up comedy; it would be way too hard for me.

I don't get a lot of "Hey, Harvard!" stuff. I think a lot of people who don't know me would be surprised to think that I went there. But no, I don't. You know, I'm from the Midwest, man - that shapes my personality much more than having gone to Harvard.

Actors like to play bad guys because they're more fun. They also win more awards.

I never had trouble getting an agent. I went out and got my first couple roles, and literally within six months I never had to have another job other than acting.
