I think I veered towards filmmaking because there's more of a sense of control in it. You're not waiting to be picked.

Matthew Gray GublerI get really sad when people say, 'I'm no good. I haven't been cast in a pilot.' It doesn't mean you're not good; it just means someone hasn't seen you yet. It doesn't mean that in real life you're not the greatest actor.

Matthew Gray GublerI get very little sleep. But I try to stay constantly busy. My fear is that if I stop working I'll, like, die.
