As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you're the character.

People call me Joey all the time. I take it as a compliment. There's no point in correcting them. But I'm much more even-keeled and subdued and relaxed than Joey Tribbiani.

When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.

The phone's not ringing off the hook, but that's ok by me. I feel very fortunate, work to me has become a kind of hobby.

Everyone in my family used to work with some kind of tool in their hands every day. That's what we do. That's what I did before I got into acting.

It's funny - nowadays people that are famous get chased by paparazzi. They have this fame, but they don't have the money to hide from it.

This whole acting thing was always just for me and was always an absolute shot in the dark. If it didn't pan out, I had my hammer and tool belt, banging nails again tomorrow if I had to.
