I did a film when I was about 30; it's a coming of age story called 'Gas Food Lodging,' and I'm so proud of that little independent film. I play this young English geologist, and he's such a simple, loving kind of guy. Doesn't talk too much. He's just a quiet guy, and he gets the girl.

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!

What I say about actors is you always want to find an actor you can play ball with. You throw the ball at them and you want them to throw it back. Your ball playing is a lot better when you play with good ballplayers, like any sport. Every actor I know feels the same way.

I've had so much fun working on 'Shameless.'

I love being funny! I started in the theater when I was 9 and, believe it or not, always played the funny part!

My life is going to continue to be public, and I just accept that.

I grew up with a dad who hated television, so we had to sneak television. It got ingrained in my head to never follow a show that religiously.
