When people come up to me and say 'I hate you' or 'I love to hate you,' it's not the usual response that I thought I would've gotten halfway into my career. And then they say, 'I love your work.'

For me, the idea of being a successful actor is hanging out with my dogs and my boy, down in Venice beach, and going, "I don't have to audition today. I've got a little respite here."

How do you make people do the best work? You make them feel comfortable, so you can feel comfortable - and then you can have a really good ballgame!

When you're a little kid, growing up, most of us know what's right and wrong. Our parents teach us that discipline.

I was the little kid growing up. I wasn't picked on because, honestly, I was fast, so I could run away from the bullies.

The crew, the actors and the writers all work the same way. We always want to do the best job.

There's this great fantasy of going to work, every day, and getting to play out what people think my life is, as a successful actor.
