I think that purity creates not only a higher level of artistic vision but a purer work ethic.

The quest for the next key art awards begins with tomorrow's hangover

Jobs that require a suit upset me. They displease me much, as our world is rife with such superficial conformity.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois, and my dad was a basketball coach. Thanks to him, I have excellent fundamentals in both basketball and baseball.

I have a very healthy growth of both head and facial hair. People always want to attribute further superhuman powers to me. It's funny the way the audience really seems to want me, Nick the actor, to exhibit the same machismo as Ron Swanson.

My career is inexplicable to me. So far I've just been not getting fired despite being myself.

I think the whole thing is kind of sad, honestly, in the same way that our civilization - particularly the consumers of pop culture - has grown so used to an emasculated, bare-chested leading man that something like simply growing a mustache can impress people.
