I haven't ever seen 'Lost' I'm sorry.

If somebody is deemed more talented within the confines of the school it doesn't mean they're going to have the most successful career.

I had kissed a girl in the second season of 'Community,' but that was my first time kissing a girl ever, and I was so nervous, I almost knocked Brit Marling's teeth out.

As an actor, you are sort of only in charge of yourself. All you can really control is your performance. You don't know what they're going to do with it in the editing room, what they're going to cut out, which take they're going to use. You know, your control is very limited. As a director, it's ultimately your piece. You have a lot more responsibility, but you also have a lot more creative control. It's scary, but also liberating in a way.

I had some years of definite frustration. Auditioning and not working as much as I would have liked to, or working and being paid a pittance, and sort of scrounging by in New York and sleeping on a chair that folded out into a bed.

I did live in New York. Yeah, I moved to L.A. for 'Community.' And I gave up my apartment in New York.

I think there's a sort of satisfaction in defying people's expectations.
