I'm a nerd; I enjoy educating myself and learning things.

I'm doing what I love to do and I'm going to go as far as I allow myself to go and I'm just going to stay positive.

I don't pay too much attention to the positive reviews or the negative reviews because if you believe one, you've gotta believe the other.

I'm a huge Rachel Maddow fan. There's not a bigger Rachel Maddow fan. I'm a Maddowphile. I'm a definite Maddowphile.

Actors have a different kind of existence because they blow up over night into superstars in their early 20s. Let's say you were a superstar in your early 20s and somebody gave you millions of dollars, I mean come on. Let's be honest here, we don't know anything in our 20s.

Rachel Maddow is a national treasure. I think that we need honest voices like that and we need journalism like that.

I think that Rachel Maddow is probably the most assertive, politically motivated and accurate voice of my generation.
