Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones.

I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it.

I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.

People ask me, 'Why are you doing a show on Showtime?' Because I'll do anything really, I don't really care, I'll do a show on Nickelodeon if I thought it was well written. Actually Nickelodeon's kind of awesome.

I don't often see the movies I'm in; I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.

The theater is who I am - it's where I feel the most inspired, the most at home, the most useful.

I have a child and I don't want to be at work all the time when he's small. I want to spend time with him.
