I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.

As an actor, you only get to work 15 minutes an hour; as a director you're fully immersed. It's incredibly more complex and challenging and I love it. I'm sort of a glutton for work and to direct something that I'm acting in feeds the vein.

It takes some intelligence and insight to figure out you're gay and then a tremendous amount of balls to live it and live it proudly.

I think the internet is a huge positive.

My hobbies have varied over the years. There were a whole set of new ones before I got married. Now I spend as much time with my wife, who is my best friend.

The longer you stay in the job that you do the more you learn about what those around you do. As an actor I've always nosed around apologetically about: "oh wouldn't it be interesting if I could do that?" I can't imagine not wanting to do this everyday.

I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.
