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.

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

For an actor, playing one character and transitioning to a completely different one is a dream come true.

My dad was a singer in a band and neither of my parents went to college, and I ended up getting into Harvard and was the first person in my family that went to college and it happened to be Harvard.

The best thing I ever learned from my dad was he knew he wasn't the best of singers, but he always knew he was a great entertainer, and I always thought that was a good concept to bring along, that ultimately acting is an entertainment art and you have to be aware of the fact that you want people to be excited to be watching you.

I don't have a lot of downtime.

As a matter of fact, I am an uncle. I have nine nephews and nieces. I'm not sure if they think I'm all that quick with a quip. But I'm quick with a spank.
