When I first met with agents, they said, "Okay, you're going to play plumbers and mechanics and bus drivers and farmers. Go."

I've had to learn and discipline myself that I'm much happier and much less depressed if I give myself a project. It's just that simple.

I feel it's important to point out that I've earned my humility by being a jackass - like, I trip and fall on my face and say, "Oh, right. Don't think you're a big shot, because you've got a bloody nose now." So it's hard to say.

I always drastically changed my look for each role. It's gotten a little tedious in real life, also, because there's no hiding.

Technically, we're all half centaur.

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.

No one will ever ask me to sing because it's beautiful. My secret is hiding my musicianship behind humor.
