I work six months and get three or four with the family.

Austin is such a free and creative place, but I can't enjoy it as much because everyone I love is back in L.A.

I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!

I just went and saw 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' Julianne Moore - I've been in love with her since 'Boogie Nights.' But also, 'The Big Lebowski.'

Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.

High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.

I was never upset that I did not get an Emmy. That I did get an Emmy nomination, I couldn't be happier and prouder.
