I'm very hairy, and men in film and TV are no longer allowed to be hairy.

Once you have a PhD, every meeting you go to becomes a doctor's appointment.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Don't teach a man to fish and you feed yourself. He's a grown man, fishing's not that hard.

I never went too long without a job. The problem was a lot of the early jobs are almost more demoralizing than unemployment.

I worked mostly in television drama for my first few years. I just kept guesting on NYPD Blues and CSI-like stuff, so when I started getting work in comedy, a lot of people in the business would say, 'Oh - I didn't know you did comedy.'

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.

I am a saxophone player.
