When I was a waiter I was fired twice from the same restaurant. I guess I was that good of an actor but that bad of a waiter.

The trick is, when you grow up, find work that feels like play.

I think about my own daily choices every day in terms of how to find happiness.

I've had a long line of failed television programs, pilots that were never picked up, series that didn't go very long. I've learned that there's really nothing you can do. If it's not in my control, I try not to worry about it.

I was shy. I was painfully shy, until fifth grade when I transferred to another school and befriended the class clown. And one day he was sick and I kinda stepped in for the class clown and I said, 'Wow, this is exciting, I'm a little bit nervous.'

When I go to a sci-fi convention, oh God, it's the closest thing to being a rock star I will ever know in this life. I want to be a rock star, don't you? It's a good thing to be, a rock star.

My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed.
