The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.

I've always been a guy that doesn't do well waiting for people to say, "You can act." It's always been a part of me.

To me, the punk rock kids I grew up with were really, really smart, and to me, respecting those kids was a really big deal.

I'm almost 40, so it's an awkward time in my career. You kind of hope it comes through and, if not, I'll be a waiter. Awesome.

I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.

You can inspire people to give you greatness, or you can micro-manage them into your own one specific kernel of an idea. To me, I think that when you inspire people to give their best, then you're going to get the best result.

I got into a bad jag of movies that helped pay the rent and I thought would help further me along.
